South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, a member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, tells Newsmax correspondent Ashley Martella he's very disturbed that any member of Congress would consider extending the moratorium on energy supply development. He notes that the bans on off-shore drilling and oil shale development expire Sept. 30th and have to be renewed yearly. He says if Democrats try to attach another drilling ban onto a government funding bill, Republicans will fight them.
