That bill was shot down by the republicans in the Senate. Not the democrats. I guess the republicans didn't want to lose any of the political contributions from the oil companies. It was a fairly simple bill as well. It required if the oil company did not act on its lease i.e., start exploration of the leased land, the lease would either be revoked or the cost would go up 50%. > >As for 'tree hugger', I use that as frequently as I do 'bible-thumper' and I >loathe both groups equally.
