I have read several articles on this bill. The new banning bill still allows no drilling within 50 miles of the coast, but loosens restrictions after fifty miles out. That alone will open up 4 billion barrels of oil. Think how much would be available inside that 50 miles. The following is a statement from another article I found on the new bill.
"It would expand our available oil by at least two billion barrels - nearly four years' worth of the oil produced offshore in America and enough to power one million cars for 60 years," she said.
That seems like more than a drop in the bucket to me Hamas.
