Description: Today on Earthbeat - host Mike Tidwell talks about the Good, the Bad and the Ugly in Offshore Energy.

The Bush Administration lifted the more than 20-year ban on drilling for oil off America's coasts -- and the Democrats responded with a plan to drill on already open lands.

We'll hear from the President of the Congressional House class of 2006 - Congressman Paul Hodes of New Hampshire speaks about why even the Democrats are pushing more drilling for oil. Joining the conversation is Joe Romm, the author of Hell and High Water and a senior fellow at the nonpartisan, nonprofit group the Center for American Progress. Athan Manual, the director of Public Lands Protection for the Sierra Club, joins the conversation from Capitol Hill.

What about the OTHER offshore energy source - wind? Jim Lanard is the head of strategic planning at BluewaterWind. His company just received the very first agreement to provide offshore wind power to an American utility company. Joining the discussion with a view from Capitol Hill is Christine Real de Azua, the spokeswoman for the American Wind Energy Association.
