There is no such thing as government "revenue".
Nevertheless, Drill Baby, Drill!
Sarah Palin was right :)
I have one hanging on my wall, and Clemente was one of my heroes because he was a good man as well as a fantastic baseball player.
I met him and knew people that he helped on a personal basis {as well as his last flight to his death}.
Why? Cuz' 0bama is no longer Prez? If he had wanted to drill there, do you think anyone would have stopped him?
Dems caving to nervous Turtleman
All along the pipeline there was this green space created by the warmth of the pipeline. In the deep winter, all these animals had grass to nibble on through the winter when everything else was iced up.
Yes, my fellow Americans, the pipeline actually saves animals lives.
Fox News made me angry for years over this. Whenever there was a news item about this the backdrop video would be of a large caribou running through a lush tundra. Especially when Sheepturd Smith was doing the report. Turns out the whole area is the stereotypical Seward’s Folly, an icy desolate place.
I made that up, but I could see her saying it
Let me say this, nobody is going to drill, there will be lawsuits that will drag out until a democrat is back in office, with that said I would like to see a test well to see if anything is really there to start with.
Q - What’s the difference between a sow with a cowboy hat,
and Frederica Wilson?
A - The sow smells better!
All of the media did this. Most of the time they showed photos of the Brooks Range, which is wildly beautiful, but hundred of miles away and protected from any development. I once saw an ANWR story on the front page of the Slimes that featured a photo of Mt. McKinley!
You are correct, ANWR is featureless tundra and almost entirely empty. The drilling would be on a tiny percentage of the land and would not affect what little wildlife lives there.
Manchin voted for us, Collins against us.
This is the kind of story that proves libtards don’t care about facts, don’t care about energy, and don’t care to know anything when they think they have a good “narrative.”
The coastal plain of ANWR (where any drilling would be) is desolate, nearly devoid of plant and animal life, virtually never visited by any humans.... all in all, one of the most barren and unappealing places on earth. Any drilling would be in tiny tiny patches that could hardly be noticed by all the animals and humans that aren’t even there to notice. The liberals greatly expanded ANWR from the amount of land that was in the original plan, just as they often vastly over-promote “wilderness” and “national monuments” and such. Many of us are supportive of a core list of National Parks and wilderness protected areas, but the libtard econuts have greatly over-expanded this list and then try to make it all sacred. They try to pretend that the coastal plain of ANWR is as precious as Yosemite or Yellowstone. It’s not. That is a great big thumping LEFTIST LIE.
Local caribou herds are completely for it.
