OK, just something I have to add here. First, its ANWR. Not ANW
AR. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Second, its a fucking
wildlife refuge, not an oil drilling ground. Third, it costs far more to get a barrel of oil out of the ground there than it does to get one from almost any other country and ship it here. Not very good
economics, is it? Finally, why should we be investing in fossil fuels at all? We already know, and the recent war and gas spikes have shown us--we need to get away from fossil fuels. Why sink billions into drilling an unprofitable oil field and destroying one of the nation's national gems when we could instead sink that money into a clean alternative that will last longer than 15 years?
