51 Nays to 49 Ayes means that the Cantwell anti-drilling amendment failed.
That failure means that the original "drill in ANWR" option passes.

Cantwell amendment HAS NOT PASSED THE SENATE!
Not only was gas 19 cents per gallon, you got a glass to go with a fillup.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Gas price war! The station on the opposite corner would offer 12 cent gas.
This is a sure fire way to harm the economy.
If a recession is the result of his raising rates it will open the door for a demonrat in 2008.
Now 12 cents per gallon I do not remember, but gas wars I do! And Bengals glasses. Couldn't give them away now!
We have a large,3 million gas a day,refinery 12 miles from my home in Semmes Al.15 miles N.W.of Mobile.I didn't know it was there until they had a fire.
Over onjections we are finally getting 3 LNG plants.
Reports in National Geographic tell of previous ANWAR drilling.Seems it has not affected wild life or the pristine land scape.
There are only 415 wells off shore and 10,000 leases.
We have fot to improve the technology for extracting tar sand olis.There is 1.6 trillion barrels on our Northern border in Clagary.
Usually the gas wars were short, just a few days, but sometimes they fought to the death. It's hard to make a living just selling gas. Even now.
(Will the wildly fluctuating market rate even make it pay off without huge [taxpayer funded] subsidies?)
What subsidies would that be. Please point out when and where these subsidies have been applied in the past.
Cherry juice?
Good night.
WSJ says it did, 51-49. Thats today of course.

Sorry, didn't read enough to know Cantwell's was a killer.
Drill, drill, drill.
By leftist logic, that would be 2% less soldiers needed abroad.
You nail their tail!!! (grin)
There's also security. Once the global oil supply begins to run out, we would still have ANWR as a partial reserve.
LOL! You just made my day! That is *too* funny!!
Drill(ing) ANWR Bump!!!
Nonsense. Before 2000, NO oil from Alaska was allowed to be sold outside of the US. Even today, no more than about 7% of Alaskan oil is sold to Asia.
Moreover, this oil is typically traded for other oil that Japan would have bought from other sources. Given that the oil from Alaska has high sulpher content, is relatively expensive to refine, and there is a toal lack of capacity for refining any aditional volume on the west coast, trading some Alasken crude for other sources that can be refined on the east coast makes great economic sense.
which is why you hear of no oil shortage problems in Japan.
Oil is a fungible good - if more is produced anywhere in the world, it affects the price everywhere in the world. And by the way, there is no "oil shortage" in the US either, which is why you don't hear about one here.

Bull, I know the man personally that negotated the agreements. You are either mis-informed or a liar.
Your coice.
