New Mexico AEA Launches Radio Ad
AUDIO: “As gas prices spiral out of control and food costs continue to grow, making ends meet gets tougher everyday for New Mexico families. While we try to do more with less, politicians in Washington, like Congressman Tom Udall have done nothing to bring prices down. The U.S. is sitting on top of vast untapped oil reserves – estimated at about 2 trillion barrels – enough oil to last us for 300 years.”
FACT: Estimates Put US Domestic Oil Reserves As High As 2.3 Trillion Barrels. “The U.S. is sitting on the world’s largest, untapped oil reserves — reservoirs which energy experts know exist, but which have not yet been tapped and may not be attainable with current technology. In fact, such untapped reserves are estimated at about 2.3 trillion barrels, nearly three times more than the reserves held by Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) nations and sufficient to meet 300 years of demand — at today’s levels — for auto, truck, aircraft, heating and industrial fuel, without importing a single barrel of oil.” (Jim Ostroff, “The U.S.’ Untapped Oil Bounty,” Kiplinger’s, 6/30/08)
AUDIO: “But Congressman Tom Udall continually votes against expanding energy exploration. In fact he has voted a whopping 34 times against additional exploration. More energy means lower prices for families.”
FACT: Please see vote compilation listed below.
AUDIO: “Congressman Udall says, ‘We are not going to drill our way out of this problem.’ But Congressman, shouldn’t drilling at least be part of the solution?”
FACT: UDALL: “But it’s clear we are not going to drill our way out of this problem.” (Michael Coleman, “Offshore Drilling OK With N.M. Delegation,” Albuquerque Journal, 6/19/08)
AUDIO: Call Tom Udall at 505.984.8950. Tell him to vote for new energy exploration and production. New Mexico families can’t afford a 35th vote for high energy prices. Paid for and authorized by the American Energy Alliance.”
