First signs of Congressional Compromise

Congressional policy regarding oil drilling expansion looks to turning green. The lame duck Republican House will revisit its bill for virtually unlimited drilling expansion in the face of the incoming Democratic Congress. A Senate bill restricting drilling expansion to offshore areas in the Gulf of Mexico may now gain Republican support. The Bush administration and oil and gas interests are now pushing for passage of the Senate bill to get it to the President before the new Congress is sworn in. Compromise is a beautiful thing.
