The Denn-Copeland fight is on.
Copeland says he supports drilling off our own shore. And no, he did not just only say “nothing is off the table.” Copeland knows precisely where he wants to dirty our waters:
Copeland said at the event that the drilling would have to take place more than 15 miles offshore to avoid the shipping channel, and since no exploration had been done in that area, it would take years before it could be possible.
Denn attacks him for his stance on Our-Shore Drilling (yes, I am proud of that one), saying offshore drilling in Delaware would be detrimental to tourism and the environment, and should never be an option. He said he supports some expanded offshore drilling, but only in areas that have already been considered, not off Delaware’s coast.
Denn went on to say that Copeland opposed the Bluewater Wind offshore wind power project, which is true.
But in Copeland’s disturbed mind, it is false. Why? Because after all his obstruction and opposition, he says he voted in favor of the Bluewater Wind agreement in June that passed both chambers of the Legislature unanimously.
And now Copeland is saying Denn is “fabricating” information about his opposition.
Copeland is saying Denn “reads too many blogs.”
Except I wager that we on the blogs know more about the Bluewater wind deal than Mr. Copeland does. And Mr. Copeland was an obstructor, not a facilitator.
