"Where is the legislation we hear is coming to enable U.S. lands drilling in ANWAR and elsewhere???? Screw OPEC. The U.S. needs to minimize OPEC oil need NOW!!!"

I moved to the states a short time ago after spending 30 years in Alaska, '73-'03. You would really have to look hard up there to find ANYONE, native or white who is opposed to drilling in ANWAR. The main obstructionists are people who have never been there and have no idea what it is like other than the phony photos they see from "save the wilderness" morons. One of the favorite Alaskan bumper stickers for years has been one that reads: "Please God, grant us another pipeline. We promise not to piss it all away this time."

Exactly -- the obstructionists are both the anti-American liberals and the mindless so-called "conservationists" these self-proclaimed experts of NOTHING. This would not have been so much of a problem, except for a VERY WEAK AND ACTIVIST CONGRESS which has pandered to the freaks of the left and prevented this nation from having A REAL, MEANINGFUL ENERGY POLICY -- ala Clinton/Gore just for starters.
