美國參議院能源暨天然資源委員會8日立法,同意開放墨西哥灣東方的佛州海岸約290萬英畝的範圍,進行石油及天然氣的探鑽。這個法案的表決是委員會以16比5的票數通過,但反對者宣稱這還沒結束。他們擔心這個開發案將對佛州海灘造成傷害。

WASHINGTON, DC, March 9, 2006 (ENS) By J.R. Pegg

The bill passed the committee by a vote of 16-5, but opponents said the fight was far from over. They fear the development will harm Florida beaches.
