Forgot to mention, this event is exactly 2 weeks before the current offshore ban and oil shale ban expire. That’s why we call it Energy Freedom Day.

October 1, 2008 is American Energy Freedom Day, the day when the current bans on offshore oil drilling and Mountain West oil shale development expire under current law. If Congress simply does nothing and allows current law to stand, then two weeks from Wednesday will be a huge victory in the fight for more American oil and gas production. Tell Congress not to mess it up by enacting any new restrictions on American energy production!
