The following item is excerpted from an upcoming issue of a Pacific NW
boating magazine. It outlines an interesting situation that doubtlessly
exists throughout the country, as the EPA is the agency ultimately in
charge of regulating boatyard operations.

Long, so pour a cup of coffee or proceed to the next thread. :-)


EPA, spotted owls, tree huggers, environmental extremists.................

And one wonders why we can't explore and drill for oil in the US.

Thanks for the article Chuck.



There's no truth to the propgandists's claims that oil companies can no
longer explore for oil or open new wells in the US. Like the
environmental extremists, people who tell you that have placed their
personal agenda above the truth.

The following like will take you to a Shell Oil website, where you can
read about a major expansion of Shell Oil activity in Alaska during
2005.
