I'm in favor of drilling in ANWR, but I think two things should be attached to allowing it, namely that companies that want to pump oil out of there be forced to build more refineries and that more funds are given toward developing alternate energy sources. One of the gas price problems is that there's a huge bottleneck at the point of actually refining oil. Our oil supply isn't as low as prices would indicate, but there's not enough refining capacity. And I've slowly been being convinced about the importance of getting off using oil as our primary energy source. I think that if we were able to find other energy sources, it would greatly help develop more self-sufficiency and put America less at the will of OPEC.
