The 'W' and 'R' in ANWR stand for wildlife refuge. It's not just up there for shits and giggles, it has a reason. It's purpose is to allow species (many endangered by oil driling and development) to thrive and multiply. Much as it is our responsibility not to blow up the planet, it is our responsibility not to commit knowing murder of entire species. This helps to undo the damage we have inflicted. What pro-drillers want is to ruin this wildlife refuge in order tyo extract a fuel that poisons the air and environment. Thats two wrongs for those who are counting. What is the benifit for this wrong? A tiny little drop in a global bucket that will have basically no effect on our oil reserves.

This has nothing to do with that. When and if man starts to colonize the galaxy, I might be therte to sign up. As for the moon? I'd say we'd be better off starting at Mars. This is of course a different conversation.

He was being ironic. He's ironic a lot, actually. There is irony in the name of the performance even.
