I think we should drill for oil in the ANWR. Worst case scenario, it would just be "a temporary disruption to the ecosystem" -- and the Greens seem to think those are OK.
Your #10 --- I went to junior high school in Beaumont, Texas way back yonder right after WWII. We used to bicycle to the famous Spindletop oil fields and marvel at the wells that were so close together that often the derricks actually interlocked! Pools of oil were everywhere as were flaming gas jets.
While this photo is much older than when we went out there, it looked very much the same.
About ten years ago I took some young family members who wanted to see Spindletop out there.
I could not find it, per se! All that remained were a very few capped wells, several weed filled patches covering the still remaining pipelines, a marble monument marking the site and grazing cattle where once the tangled wooden derricks were.
A mighty big change just within 50 years!
Yet the environazis have convinced the spineless congresscritters that drilling in ANWR will destroy the entire earth!
I'm also all for temporary disruptions to the ecosystem that might result from tarring and feathering several prominent lib/dems.
