From what I hear, the reserves in ANWR won't affect the price of gas; there just isn't that much there.
Right,
And that fact should be be discussed, and quicky ruled irrelevant.
There are still good jobs that will be created here. All we should be discussing is whether the possible environmental damage is worth the potential business gain.
Isn't there more oil in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coasts of Florida & California? Untouched. Heard that it's rather hard to get at. Is that true? or are the governors of those states putting the brakes on for environmental/vote reasons?
Isn't much there? You've got to be kidding! Although not as big as Alberta's oil sands, there are huge deposits there that can be extracted using existing technology used in Alberta, which is pumping over 800,000 barrels a day now, which flows mostly into the USA.
Bull!!There is between 8-30 billion barrels of oil there.
I an SOOO sick and TIRED of this LIE that keeps being pushed around by the environmental KOOKS.
It is not all about the price at the pump. The USA relies on Foreign oil way too much (Saudi Oil)and more countries are using more energy. So, without aggressive domestic drilling, it is conceivable that the USA could wind up being dependent on Arabs/Muslimes to provide us with energy during a shortage.
Do we want to depend on Islam for our future energy needs just so we can save a buck at the pump? I know I don't..but then, I am Pro-USA.
ANWR is a matter of National Security and should not be made a matter of National Debate by Socialist environMENTAL groups and average citizens who know absolutely Nothing about the industry and do not bother to learn about either.
Greed and environmentalism the way to bring the USA down.
There is oil there, most likely 6 billion barrels. ANWR will not affect the price of oil, nor gasoline.
Thank you for sharing that unbelievably useful bit of wisdom.
