"'There's clearly a dramatic shift across the ideological divide in America in favor of producing more energy here at home,' Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters.
"'I can't imagine that the majority (Democrats in Congress) is going to ignore that indefinitely,' McConnell added.

"A top U.S. Democratic senator said in a newspaper interview published Wednesday that he would consider supporting opening up new areas for offshore oil and gas drilling.
"'I'm open to drilling and responsible production,' Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin told The Wall Street Journal, adding that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could also support the move."
