Alaska Oil and Endangered Species

Peyton Knight has several concerns but at the top of his list is what he calls the weak efforts of the Republicans in the reauthorization of the ESA (Endangered Species Act). Peyton is the director of the National Center’s John P. McGovern Center for Environmental Regulatory Affairs, (NationalCenter.org). Boy, that was a mouthful.
Anyway, he and Chuck Harder have a conversation about this proposed reauthorization and the Center’s belief that it will be bad for endangered species and landowners alike. What other things are on his mind? How about that if we drill for oil in Alaska we could produce 1 and ½ million barrels a day for the next thirty years and that would buy us time to increase our technology and get us out of the jam we are in. Wind power and solar power can’t supply what we need, he says. Click here to listen to the whole podcast.
