U.S. Imports of Crude and ProductsU.S. Imports of Crude and Products
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Moratorium
• Passed by Congress every year since its inception in 1981
• OCS covers 85% of U.S. coastal area
• Estimated 19 billion bls recoverable oil and 86 trillion cu. ft. natural gas within OCS (Dept. of Interior), namely between shoreline and 50 miles from shore
• House of Representatives voted 236-189 yesterday to lift the moratorium; Senate debate/vote will be next week
• Drilling allowed 50 to 100 miles from shore if neighboring states agree to the drilling; <50 miles not allowed, >100 miles no state approval
• Royalties from drilling not shared with neighboring states
• $18 billion tax breaks over next 10 years eliminated
• Bill gives tax credits to solar and wind energy industries
• Would require utilities to generate 15% of electricity from solar and wind or other renewables
