Hickel warns Machiasport plan could hurt oil imports
Interior Secretary Walter Hickel, in a National Petroleum Council speech, warned that authorizing the Machiasport Maine oil complex could undermine the U.S. petroleum import program. He noted regional inequities and cited Occidental Petroleum and Atlantic Richfield as seeking quotas to import Libyan crude for Machiasport refining into fuel oil for the Northeast. A presidential task force is reviewing the request.
