Here's a related ANWAR thread dealing with his puppetmaster.

LOL!
The President is proposing allowing drilling on 2000acres of the ANWR tundra's nearly 20,000,000acres. That makes the percentage more like 0.01% - one part in ten-thousand.
And something else you may or may not be aware of: the six animals Comrade Kerry mentioned rarely if ever migrate far enough north to actually enter the ANWR. Almost all of those 19 million acres are so lifeless and desolate that it could make the moon look like Bermuda. Most of the pictures you see of caribou grazing, polar bears eating, and snow geese doing various snow goose things, are actually taken in state-owned reserves far to the south of the ANWR.
Now, if it had been ketchup below all that ice, maybe John would be singing a different tune...
Great flash movie

*ANWR contains 10.3 billion barrels of oil, according to mean United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimates. These figures were derived based on this mean estimate and petroleum consumption for each state according to the Energy Information Agency (EIA).
And I hope they don't pass it.
Yes John! I will increase conservation!
Starting now, I will:
Replace my 15 watt bulbs with 5W night lites
Turn my thermostat down from 55F to 45F; and set back to 35F at night
Lower the thermostat on my water heater to 75F from 85F
I will install a heavier duty spring in my cars wind-up auxilliary motor, so I can go longer between battery charges to help preserve power
Thank you stopping those evil Republicans from destroying our great nation by drilling for gas & oil.
Oh, in appreciation of your undying efforts to save our country's precious environment, please find my 2 cent donation for your 2024 reelection campaign; it is all I can afford after buying a gallon canister of hydrogen for my fuel cell.

P.S. Please help repeal those tax cuts that are destroying us; there is no way I should have had that 2 cents left over to give you; the government should have had it to put to the common use.
I once heard that it was discovered that oil was available at Prudhomme Bay because it was pooling on the ground - before drilling was anywhere near that forsaken wasteland.
Save the Caribou?
Can you imagine all those poor defenseless animals getting all fouled with oil.
PETA should be supporting the drilling at ANWR!
(It's for the animals)
It is a great idea totell us to remain dependant on foreign oil when it's over $55 a barrel and gas prices are expected to be over $2.50/gal by summer!
Woohoo, I hope they keep this dork around another 3.5 years!
Like the Cape Wind offshore windfarm you REFUSE to take a position on, Senator??
Which is total a fraud. Although the area shown is part of ANWAR, it is hundreds of miles from the driling area and totally devoid of trees or green vegetation, and totally devoid of visible living things other than mosquitos...
