"Given what we know, it's not worth the risk of drilling."

What exactly do we know?

It will lead to:

1. Lower gas prices

2. Less reliance on foreign oil

3. A boost to the economy through job creation

What's not to like?

Environmentalists oppose the drilling, saying any spill would harm walruses, whales, and polar bears in a region scientists say is already vulnerable to climate change.

Oh, yes, the old save the polar bears and climate change is killing us lies.

You’ve got to respect the fact that she knows a lot about not allowing drilling in frigid environs.

Pipelines and fracking aren't worth the risk either. But I live in a mansion just north of NYC and jet all over the world (my biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State). We'll be building a UN-type structure near Harlem, NY to accomodate the Clinton Family Foundation. Thousands of tons of steel and glass, which are energy intensive products.

I'm green. Just check with the IRS.

Who is we Hillary? Given what you know, I'm more qualified to discuss the Quantum Theory than you are to comment on drilling in the Arctic. And the last class I took on Physics was back in high school.

“Clinton says Arctic drilling ‘not worth the risk’”

That’s what Bill said...ain’t touched the ice hag in decades.

Oh, different subject...never-mind.

The implication is that coal production is not worth it either. The trip between opposing arctic drilling and continued shut down is quite short and easily made.

Given what we know, it’s not worth the risk of sailing those three ships to nowhere...........

So said her ancestors to the King and Queen of some European country more than 500 years ago ???

Here at FR she has been known as the "ice queen" over the years.
Maybe she's had more experience than we've been aware of.
Just sayin'

Let’s leave it to the Russians, Scandinavians and Canadians to take the risk.

A society that is unwilling to take risks is stagnant at best.

Has she done a campaign event with the Amish yet? It seems that that should be the Democrat’s base since that’s how they’d prefer we live. (not how the elite like her and Gore should live but how all us commoners should live)

Exactly, if they are already doomed by climate change, the drilling should be okay.

Treasure? Frozen? Can’t produce food. Cold. Inhabitable? What good is it except for energy. Might as well do something with it.

But I would have to assume she harbors adolescent fantasies of shimmering snow and sled dogs. Whatever.

The question about is this: What is really behind the opposition? It has to be money and politics. That means Soros has a scheme to make money. When Soros has a scheme that means harnessing politicians.

"The Arctic is a unique treasure," Clinton said in a Twitter post. "Given what we know, it's not worth the risk of drilling."

Where they want to drill is a wasteland. Has any travel agent ever put a tour of this place together? Do any people live there? Do any people want to visit there? Are there amazing architectural landmarks within a thousand miles? There is unique treasure there...it is below ground and needs to be drilled for.

"The Arctic is a unique treasure," Clinton said in a Twitter post. "Given what we know, it's not worth the risk of drilling."

I watched a documentary on Netflix the other night on how climate change is affecting the Antarctic. It had breathtaking footage. I really came away with the impression that the Antarctic is a unique treasure. The thought even past my mind how wonderful it would to be to visit Antarctica. That was how I felt about the documentary. What I thought on the other hand was completely different. I was waiting for proof of the impact of climate change. There was none. Everything was geared towards the future and the need for more scientific data. Antarctica, it was said, is vast and there is only a drop of data given its size. There was not a single piece of evidence. But maybe after five more years of research they will begin to understand the impact of climate change.

These people, including Hillary have no idea what they are talking about. The science isn't even superficially serious.

It’s a given that she knows very little. And besides, the Saudis probably don’t like it.
