All that drilling equipment would be ugly and spoil the view with oil derreks, etc. ... too bad that unsightly equipment can't be moved as easily as the unsightly fire hydrant in front of Kerry's Boston condo that the city moved per Kerry's request!

And the ugly windfans Kerry doesn't like near Nantucket...they spoil the view. God forbid they help our energy needs.

I was down at Starbucks having a Moccahino (soy, no foam) with a Caribou. You may think it is odd that a moose would be in a coffee bar, but I live in a very tolerant community. Anyway, the moose was saying that the sight of these oil drilling rigs would despoil the pristine natural beauty of the wilderness, and that Caribou are very sensitive to such aesthetic intrusions.

As for people, well there are no people up there. You'd be more likely to see a moose in Starbucks!

Yes let's replace the unsightly oil derricks on the frozen tundra with unsightly windmills (aka 'eagle killers') all over the lower 48 instead.
