The Mineral Management Service in the Department of the
Interior estimates that 86 billion barrels of oil lie under the Outer
Continental Shelf off the United States. By comparison, Russia has an estimated 60

expand domestic oil production. Last month, in a vote for a proposal by Senate
Republican Leader Mitch McConnell that would allow offshore drilling, Senator
B.H.Obama voted against it.

to same ol', same ol'.
