Republican Rep. Mike Coffman said Thursday that the decision to scrap a last-minute Bush administration oil-shale lease offering will hurt Colorado’s ability to develop energy resources.
Coffman criticized the decision by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to withdraw the offering for research and development leases in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.
“We must be willing to look at every possible solution to our energy crisis,” Coffman said. “Closing off leases for oil shale only hinders our ability to end our addiction to foreign oil.”
