You need to pay much closer attention. This is all about speeding up the drilling process in the National Petroleum Reserve areas whit very high probability of large reserves.

Your criticism is not only justified it is just plain wrong.

Do a little research to learn the error of your ways.

Google is your friend

We need to be producing both ANWR Coastal Plain and NPRA. Both area were set aside for Petroleum when the areas were created.

The pristine ANWR tundra that Bush and the Senate have locked up. Yeah, it looks like it's worth saving...

[Condor51]

The area, the North Slope's biggest freshwater lake, is considered potentially rich in oil and gas as well as a critical habitat for migrating birds and caribou.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, caribou again!!!
I'm getting to the point that I want to see every caribou - DEAD!

[MNJohnnie]

Amen, citizen!!!

Oh that is very very good. I like it much.

[The Great RJ]

Bush goes to the Saudi’s to beg for more oil only to be snubbed and now refuses to allow drilling on US soil. We have no reason to complain about high gasoline prices as we are brining them on ourselves by such idiotic policies.

[TSchmereL]

You are so right. George W. Bush, although often right, is such a failure on so many issues. It is no wonder that the Republican Party is in such disarray.

[gridlock]

Everytime they do something like this, the price goes up.

[Sybeck1]

Get ready for $10 a gallon gas. How long before people storm congress?

[thackney]

The snub looks more like posturing while OPEC oil production is in fact climbing.

Perfect!

I guess if oil is going to be $300 a barrel someday, we’ll be glad we saved it for later.

" The area, the North Slope's biggest freshwater lake, is considered potentially rich in oil and gas as well as a critical habitat for migrating birds and caribou."

The Caribou herds have tripled since the North Slope oil infrastructure was developed. If we build another one hunting might have to be implemented to thin the herd for its own well being.

Here’s my theory: The Saudis and other Arab countries have promised EVERYONE in Washington a retirement with $1 Billion in a Swiss bank account.

Any reporters doing ANYTHING to investigate the oceans of dirty money in Washington?

[TomGuy]

And yet the loyalist Pubbies continue to blame the mean ole Democrats.

Wonder how the voters will feel about this when they are paying out of their pockets for $4+/gal gas, double-digit grocery price increases, skyrocketing utility bills.

The ole ‘blame the Dem Congress’ game just lost about 99 points.

Thanx for the chart #30.

Offhand, will this same website have the oil production numbers for North America?

[Colorado Doug]

after Obama is sworn in as our presisente: Amen, comrade!!!

Well, that could be amen Whitey.

[cake_crumb]

Hmmm....so what this boils down to is that a SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT area will be leased for oil exploration. However, the brain dead bashers are probably already here.

Arctic wetlands?..........an oxymoron from the morons who are lacking oxy................
