Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson met with Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in Tallahassee this morning and said he wouldn’t rule out drilling for oil in the Everglades.
“Gosh, no one has told me there is any major reserves in the Everglades,” the former Tennessee senator said when asked about the issue. “Maybe that’s one of the things I have to learn while I’m down here.”
Crist quickly jumped in and told Thompson,” We would prefer we not do that.”
Thompson supported drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWAR), and said all interests have valid arguments. |
