That picture looks more like the Grand Tetons to me.
Never, ever, make a mistake on FR or you'll be told about it at least 100 times. ;-)

"Those are actually Democrats dressed up as bison.
Kennedy didn't have to prep very much..."
He had to lose some weight to look like a bison.
Well, since production will be about 1 million per day, that equals about 10,400 days or about 28.5 years. Our current usage is about 20 million barrels per day.
I think those are musk oxen, but your point's well taken. That is NOT a picture of the shores of the Beaufort Sea.
A bit difficult to tell but those appear to be musk ox.(?)
Nice picture, not quite the right area being discussed, but it is pretty.
Popcorn Anyone???
somewhere in the middle is probably the truth
At the estimated output of 1 million barrels per day (which amounts to about 5% of our total usage) this would equal around 10,400 days -- or 28.5 years give or take.
Sen. John Kerry, 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.
"The fact is (drilling in ANWR) is going to be destructive," said Kerry.
A) He's NOT a legal US Senator
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3

B) Senate 51-49 vote
Actually 51-48 (See A)
C) Why if there is 55 GOP Senators was it only 51?
My thought too.... buffalo in ANWR? I thought there were only caribou.
we need to give the ocean floors a rest and keep our messes, if we make them, above ground where we can deal with them better,,, IMO
I was just lurking on DU and they are pulling their hair out over this. Great to watch.
Government projections are about 30 years for ANWAR.
I guess since we aren't getting ALL our oil from Texas we shouldn't drill for oil there at all. And since we don't get ALL our oil from Canada, we shouldn't import from their at all.
No, this one location won't solve all our problems--who said it would? I guess issuing welfare checks won't solve the poor's problems, so we shouldn't issue them to them.
The double-talkin' swidlin' libbies are so full of crap it comes out their ears.
Secretary Norton was on Sean the other day and she said the plan was not to rely on ANWR for oil supplies but to use it to supplement and basically ride out price increases in our regular supplies.
IOW, one thing they are going to use it for is to threaten OPEC et al. to keep their prices reasonable or we'll use our own oil. All good.
If we can keep foreign oil at a reasonable price, AND have the ability to be independent of it by having ANWR drilled and ready to use whenever needed, why not keep using *their* oil up all the while we husband ours for a rainy day? I've no prob with that. Sounds brilliant, actually.
