As an Alaskan, here's my opinion...
The GOP wants you to believe that there is enough oil in my home state to end our dependence on foreign oil. Anybody with a brain cell knows that is not the case. I read somewhere that we import about 70 percent of oil into America. ANWR MIGHT bring that number down to 69 at full production, which would take years until we're at that point anyway. Why can't we spend our time and resourced into developing new technology so that we can leave the oil in the ground? Why doesn't the GOP ever think of that? Is lining the pockets of themselves and their oil company contributors the only thing they think about?
I don't want my grandchildren to have to put on their SPF 1000 in 30 years because the ozone layer is gone.
No drilling.
