People who say "no blood for oil" do not understand energy. Oil is the most precious commodity on the planet. Oil makes the world go round, and in order to keep our lifestyle in America, we better be willing to shed blood for oil. I have an idea - let's use electricity for everything - it comes out of the outlets in my walls in endless supplies!!! /serious sarcasm
For those people who insist on believing that all US policy and action is geared toward OIL - ?! - I tell them to mentally replace oil with the world's food supply - would you fight to get your hands on some of that food? Oil is just as vital as food.

Wow, I missed that one. Thanks so much for all this work! And I'm glad that someone's looking at more than the money angle. As bad as that is, that's the least of it.

It's not ANWAR that is the answer to our shortage. The answer is getting CA and FL to drill in their off-shore oil fields as TX and LA have done for 40 years. The selfish citizens of those two states are keeping their water clean so they don't get tarballs on their swimsuits, as we in the Gulf coast have learned to live with all these years so that you can drive to work and go on vacation. I wish gas would go to $20/gal for Californians and Floridians. In fact, the federal government leased most of FL off-shore leases soon after Bush took office. Why can't the government declare a national emergency and start drilling on their holdings there? No state is more equal than any other state, and I think the federal government controls all the waters three miles off-shore. Someone needs to start drilling, or we need to go full-bore to make all the automakers sell only hybrid cars that get 60mph by 2006, including SUVs. The Japanese have done all the research on this already, and surely it wouldn't take long to copy what's there. Saudi Arabia just declared economic war on the US and we'd better do something except complain about it.

The carribou actually LIKE the pipeline. The oil needs to be heated to flow. The warm pipeline is a good place to snuggle when it's a cold,-50F, winter night. Carribou populations have been going UP due to fewer freezing in winter
