Don’t Miss Your Chance to Unlock the OCS for Oil and Gas Production

Dear Capt. Karl

Currently, the environmental opposition is mounting an aggressive campaign to keep the OCS closed and we need your help!  The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is home to huge, untapped resources, but access is currently restricted, slowing the crucial growth and development urgently needed to meet today’s energy demands.  To unleash the promise of our domestic reserves, your voice is needed now to help open critical areas of the (OCS) for petroleum exploration and production in the near future.

The Minerals Management Service (MMS), which makes decisions about offshore leasing programs, is now taking comments regarding a new 5-year plan for the OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program.  This plan, which would cover 2010 – 2015, is designed to better address our nation’s pressing energy needs.  Currently, the opposition is mounting a campaign to keep these vital energy reserves closed, which is why it is urgent that you communicate your support for opening the OCS.   Your comments are needed right away to encourage MMS to open all areas of the OCS to oil and natural gas development.

Please be proactive and help us speed the development of a secure energy future for America by encouraging an updated plan to succeed the existing program-one that better reflects our nation’s real energy needs and capabilities.  The time for comments is running out, and your voice in support of OCS development is needed now!

Thank you for supporting America’s energy future.

The Partnership for America’s Energy Security is sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute and is designed to provide individual citizens with information about today’s energy issues.
