Senate panel approves drilling off Florida coast
A Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee vote 13-10 approved allowing oil and gas drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, 10 miles off the Florida Panhandle, with a 45 mile no drilling buffer protecting most of Florida’s coast. The measure, added to a broader energy bill, could advance later in the week. The eastern Gulf, previously protected since 2006, would lose its drilling ban under the proposal from Sen. Byron Dorgan.
