The Senate Energy Committee broke new ground when it passed its energy bill last month. Now is the time for the Senate to finish the job by permitting coastal states to petition the federal government for carefully measured access to proven gas deposits in coastal waters.

The chemical industry needs the bill to address U.S. natural gas prices, which are the highest in the world. These raw material costs are making it increasingly difficult for manufacturing industries to compete in global markets. The chemical industry's gas bill has increased by $10 billion in two years. The industry has lost $50 billion in business to overseas competition and more than 90,000 good-paying American jobs have disappeared.
