Stephen Praises Senator Gregg For Commitment To Energy IndependenceCongressional Candidate Calls Out Representatives Who Voted Against Energy Exploration
MANCHESTER, NH- 1st District Congressional Candidate John Stephen today praised U.S. Senator Judd Gregg for his sponsoring the "American Energy Production Act of 2008," which would remove many of the restrictions on domestic oil and gas production and allow the United States to produce up an additional 24 billion barrels of oil.  The legislation also suspends filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for 180 days.  In addition, the act removes restriction on biomass and other alternative energy sources.  The bill is expected to come for a full vote on Monday.
