The Boca Beacon - Boca Grande's Weekly Newspaper

The Boca Beacon - Boca Grande's Weekly Newspaper: "The US Senate will shortly begin two weeks of debate on a comprehensive energy bill involving oil and gas exploration resources off the coast of Florida.

Florida senators Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez say they've reached an agreement designed to prevent any effort to weaken the moratorium on oil and gas drilling off Florida's coast. This agreement could extend bans on drilling off Florida's coast through at least 2112. This, however, does not guarantee Florida coasts are home free. The current energy bill that will be under debate includes language that would allow exploration of oil and gas resources off Florida coasts."
