The release of crude oil from Murphy Oil turned a community otherwise contaminated by floodwater into a community contaminated by toxicants. The dominant issue is the necessity of a community-wide cleanup.

Given the damage that just one oil spill could do to a coastal community, it seems to me that undoing the moratorium is just not worth it,

Blue Quail Resources and their president Joe Gregory are well respected members of the oil and gas community. As Superior continues to grow, we will look to establish relationships with valuable companies such as Blue Quail.

In the end, there's just not enough oil and gas within our territory. And if we want to break our dependence on foreign oil ... we've got to develop new sources, fuel cells, cleaner more fuel efficient cars and we've got to get back to conserving and using energy more efficiently and wisely.

I think there's a sense that with oil prices as high as they are, that's carrying over to the consumer, which you're seeing in the retail sales.

In their opposition to our amendment, big oil lied to get our bill killed, ... They lied then, and they'll lie again.
