[ [link removed] ]OC Register headline: Rep. Porter swaps white board for white rice to
make point about Big Oil

Big Oil is greedy, and they want even more of our public land. That’s why
during last week’s Oversight hearing (which I joined from my driveway in
Irvine) I used bags of rice to demonstrate how much public land Big Oil is
holding onto—and not even using.

There were 479 pounds of rice in the back of my van, and each grain
represented just ONE of the 13.9 million publicly owned, unused acres of
land leased by Big Oil. That’s equivalent to all of the land in Maryland
and New Jersey combined.

Our public land belongs to the American people, not Big Oil. But the oil
and gas executives I talked to refuse to support a pause on new public
land leases. They already have millions of acres, but they say it’s still
not enough.

I’ll keep standing up to Big Oil—the whole industry is bad for our economy
and bad for our environment.

Onward,

Katie
