Aspen Times takes on Americans for American Energy

Posted by egable on December 19th, 2007 filed in Energy development

In an editorial today, the Aspen Times criticizes the industry group Americans for American Energy for “equating criticism of oil and gas exploration with support for terrorism.”

The Times writes, “We applaud Colorado’s state and federal elected officials who continue to seek a balanced approach to drilling on and around the Roan Plateau. We’re the ones who will live here both during and after the ongoing drilling boom, and we urge Congress and the president to craft an energy policy that balances exploration and conservation.

And that doesn’t mean we support terrorists.”
