"Sen. John Kerry ... argued that more oil would be saved if ... focusing on conservation, more efficient cars and trucks and ... oil development in the deep-water Gulf where there are significant reserves."
#1: This from a man with how many private jets and SUVs?
#2: drilling in deep-water Gulf? They balk over drilling off the cost of Massachusetts off the shore of the Kennedy compound but don't mind Gulf drilling?
bunch of whiners, as usual. No solutions, just opposition.
As Sen. Pete Domenici said, we need to do everything.
dammit. why does everything have to taste like chicken?
This undated photo provided by the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), shows a herd of musk ox grazing in an area proposed as a possible site for oil exploration inside the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska. President Bush's interior and energy secretaries are planning to accompany a half dozen senators to Alaska in prepartion for the first environmental showdown of Bush's second term: voting to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

How about some windmills just off Hyannis which Kennedy and Kerry consider to be "sensitive wetlands?" All that windsurfing and sailing territory which they are so fond of.
that was the first question my husband asked me. I don't know how they voted yet but I would bet you alot of money that atleast on if not both voted against it.
Whether it's "worth it" or not, should be left up to the MARKET.
If it's NOT "worth it" then the market will leave it alone.
What, are you some kind of Communist?
Those are musk oxen. They are indigenous to Nunivak Island, Alaska. Outside of a herd kept by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, I don't think there are any wild herds anywhere on the mainland.
Really? Well, will miracles never cease. Some cliches come to mind:
A blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
Even a stopped clock is right two times a day.
etc.....
"If you "moo" out the window as you drive by some cows,do the cows think a cow is driving the car?"
Great philosophical question. For all I know, you are a cow, a very smart cow, playing games with us humans. I'm actually a goat. Or, maybe I just need a bath?
Because we are in the Matrix....pfft.
Matter of fact that's the largest drill bit in the world..
That looks like my lawn for the last three and a half months.
If 3 rats voted for it, then that means 7 pubs voted against it. Wanna add 2 more?
no thanks, I just wanted a little bit.
Nope, see posts # 52 and 70.
Well, I think this also goes without saying, thats not even a picture of the area where they want to drill.
The area in question is literally a living hell, with temps sometimes hovering at 40 degrees below 0.
Its a tundra, and that picture is definitely not a picture of a tundra.
Demand leads production not the other way around. Pumping out more won't make it more in demand.
Drilling for Oil doesn't destroy the environment in and of itself.
I thought the Liberals were pro Jobs..think of all the good American jobs that will be created....So now the Democrats are anti energy...and anti jobs....
