Both sides are slinging some bull.
This legislation protects the bacteria who live at the edge of the oil seeps on the north slope. The oil seep ecosystem in North America’s tundra wilderness is a fragile and beautiful place that deserves protection from development. Caribou, arctic fox, and polar bears regularly visit these seeps and no doubt gain much from the interaction between the earth and its creatures. Thank you, Sen. Lieberman, for saving the oil seeps and allowing my grandchildren to have the opportunity to watch dark slicks slowly gather among the saxifrage and willow while gently swatting black flies and mosquitoes amid the snorting caribou calving in the midnight sun.
Wilderness??? This is so F-ing stupid it boils me. At best, a few hundred people will take the time and money to even look at this area and then they’ll only see a minute fraction to the millionth power. This is our Middle East oil reserve and the only reason I can see Joe saying “no touchy” is that he wants us to suck the Arabs dry first.
I surveyed Ice roads in this area and it’s barren in the winter which is when all the exploration & construction is done.
repubs need a bill that will remove the oil from protected lands so that the temptation to drill in the future when oil tops 150bbl will be mute...
GET RID OF THE OIL and SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT
ron paul will vote for it.

When Congress gets finihsed with tranny and cross-dresser legislation could they consider some energy help.

Of course. You didn't think they would do anything "reasonable" now did you?
“They WANT $5.00 a gallon gas!”
That is nothing new actually. For many years the Liberals have touted the costs of European petrol to their goals for the U.S.
They “feel” such costs would restrict our automobile usage and save the planet from the horrible effects of the Internal Combustion Engine.
At $11.75 a bale of Alfalfa anymore, Vet care, etc. horses aren’t much less costly, besides the methane is unacceptable to the GW alarmists.
Chinese bicycles are on the horizon.
Does anyone know the senate bill number?
They want it NOW, while they can blame Bush.
Go TO HELL JOE!!!
