REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER! Democraps care more about the Caribou then they do about you!
;>)
Open ANWR! BTTT
(Pardon the formatting error... ;>)
10 billion barrels would take care of the US needs for one year. However it will be 10 years before the first barrel can be produced and 50 years to produce 10 billion from the field.
I've never been to a Wildlife Resort, but it sounds like a whole lot of fun.
I know a guy who has a tap he uses for kegs. You think that would work in ANWR?
BTTT
Wasn't there another recent post that said there was another find of some 10 billion barrels or more sitting somewhere under the Rockies in the continential United States? Or was I dreaming?

This is a campaign year and Dems might not be able to mount a filibuster if the R's frame the debate as helping consumers and strengthening national security by lowering dependence on foreign oil.If they even try to obstruct, paint them as weak on national defense.
It's an ideal issue, plus imagine how much fun it will be to see the dems whine and contort themselves.
Will someone please post the names of the 21 Republicans in the House who killed the ANWAR drilling bill? I recall Sensenbrenner was one of them. Their names ought to be published far and wide as their constituents fill up at the pump for $3/gal. in this election year. And everyone in FLA should be on the necks of Martinez and Nelson for keeping our oil companies out of their coastal waters, thus giving them to Castro's Cuba. It is shameful to be represented by such clueless jerks.
I have a question.
If ANWR were open to American oil companies, would they still shaft the American people with high gas prices?
Where's Ellis Wyatt when you need him?
If they hadn't spent a decade f'n around, ANWR would already be pumping. Obstructionist watermelons AKA The Democrat Party.
I just finished reading the "hit piece" in National Geographic about the "pristine" North Slope.
Of all the pictures of "national wonderment", only one was taken in the ANWR area, and that was of natives on the beach slaughtering a whale. And then there is the caribou herd, which when you read the article, freely wanders a couple of thousand miles, so the herd is not territorial.
Then there's the horror discussion of Navy wells punched during WWII, and no clean-up actions after they left (like most other gov't facilities throughout the world.
The article states the billions barrels of oil, and gobs of natural gas throughout the area, but the peregrine falcon roosts in the area.
In the end, it's all Bush's fault, because Carter was kind to the area; Clinton only delineated a new 13% of the North slope for new exploration; and because Bush is more evil than Reagan!
One problem with this report; Its done by the USGS office which historically over inflates the figures by huge margins. It has never been close to the actual recovered resources established by the actually drillers and producers. Plus, show me a well that delievers much over 50%. With water intrusion and gas caps, that's about the limit of economically recoverable crude, and
that's sweet, light crude.
And if ANWAR were opened up the oil companies and their executives would just get richer...and we can't have that, we must have an oil shortage and pristine arctic land (scarcasm off)
How about going full bore on nuclear power and take off all the restrictions about off-shore drilling, as well as opening up anwar...that is the real solution.
**[10 billion barrels sitting under Wildlife Resort]**
Then why don't we insist that our Congress approve legislation to drill there!?????????
This is only part of the problem.
The rest of the problem are the unbuilt refineries, the dead in the water nuclear power plants, and our failure to convert coal reserves into effective power.
And the blame lies in the same place - radical enviro-wackos.
