More then 1/4 of the nations energy is produced off the coast of Louisiana. Shoudn't it have a plan to save the 35 sq. miles that it's losing every year to erosion? Radio host, Tommy Tucker asked Newt if he would make a committment right now to the people of Louisiana that he would make it a priority in his administration. Newt wrote about this directly after Katrina. It's a topic he's been briefed on again and again because of his background in teaching environmental studies and having lived in New Orleans, he is very committed.
He worked with Senator Landrieu to get a bigger share of the offshore oil. Newt believes states that have offshore oil should get the same 50% break that states who have onshore resources do. That would be 15% more of the royalty stream that you are getting and would more then pay for redoing the wetlands. He says the BP money should go directly to the states that have been hurt by the oil rig blow out. It should not be distributed thru the federal administration. Please hear what he has to say about this when he was on Tommy Tucker's radio program today because the wetlands are eroding quickly.
