Oil Drilling is a National Security Issue

From the House Dems and Emerald Coast magazine:

For those following today’s debate in the Florida House of Representatives on HB 1219, please see the recent Emerald Coast Magazine article about how drilling could adversely affect the military mission in the Gulf of Mexico.

“Our concern over oil/gas activity is related to the possible damage to oil/gas platforms associated with permanent production activity,” Arnold said. Moreover, the additional boat and helicopter support activity would require safe passage, and the radio emissions from the oil and gas platforms could interfere with military missions.” --- Bob Arnold, chief of Eglin Air Force Base’s Mission Enhancement Committee.
