AFIK, there are no bison in Alaska.
How much of a supply would 10.4 billion barrels equal? 1 month? 6 months? 5 years? 20 years??? Anyone know?
Postcard picture accompanying this has zero to do with the small coastal ANWR drilling area, an inhospitable wasteland which, by the way, the caribou often skip altogether and stay in Canada. Notice the picture is of animals not found in the driling area. And they say the reserve is "ecologically rich." How about the fact it is "oil rich" and we have a superpower that needs some oil?
and some oil...ahahahah....
"We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact," argued Sen. Maria Cantwell..."
But the House of Saud & Co. will see this vote today, Maria, which should have an immediate impact on prices.
Yes. It's about time. Now we need to build a few new refineries. Make way enviro-terrorist!
bingo
10.4 billion / 20 million (our current daily usage) would give about 520 days (1.5 years).
Are you implying that a nation full of people is the moral equivalent of a herd of caribou?
Shalom.
Glad to know she doesn't plan on being here in ten years when the energy crisis is even worse, but some of us have kids.
Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), D-Mass., argued that more oil would be saved if Congress enacted an energy policy focusing on conservation, more efficient cars and trucks and increased reliance on renewable fuels and expanded oil development in the deep-water Gulf where there are significant reserves.
basically, get more political play out of it
Those are actually Democrats dressed up as bison.
Kennedy didn't have to prep very much...
yahoo should be ashamed of themselves for running this misleading pic with this story.
bad yahoo.
The three Democrats that voted for it are being flooded with hate mail by DUers - Landrieu, Akaka and Inouye! We should flood them with thank you mail!
actually, these are musk ox
1.5 years of the TOTAL oil usage of the United States of America is one heck of a lot of oil.
According to the Yahoo! caption, they are musk oxen.
I think they are musk ox, which do live in the ANWR, as if it matters.
I believe those are Musk Oxen
