Texas blasts New England for draining energy resources
Jim C Langdon head of the Texas Railroad Commission says New England states drain energy resources while blocking development in the Northeast. He cites Texas 100 percent January oil production and sustained output as a model, noting declines in statewide oil and gas output but urging continued incentives for oil and gas exploration. January crude demand rose to 44,075,053 barrels daily and gas demand climbed to 27,380,920 cubic feet daily.
