That’s a nice start. But I’m more concerned about the Seante where such bills come to die. We’ve passed this several times in the House only to face a filibuster in the Senate.

Paging Sen. McCain.

The Sand Kingdoms are staking money on pallets in warehouses. U.S. families are getting squeezed and stressed more so than in decades, and this guy FINALLY comes to terms with reality. Pardon me for not being more appreciative. No watch the Eco-terrorist go nuts and start redeploying all the hyper scare stories within their manifestos, er, with the MSM.

Sen Stevens and Sen Murkowski had a Bill to allow leasing in ANWR when the price reached 125. Seemed a long way off at the time, which was two weeks ago.

Well, whoop-de-doo!! Pin a rose on that guy. It just so happens, that most of the reasons why we have NO DRILLING or being built refining operations is due to a DNC controlled Congress and some totally nut case GOP members who allow the crackpot environmentalists to call the shots. We should be putting the blame where it belongs and no matter what they say, CORN and WIND power isn’t the answer!! There is NO SHORTAGE of oil.

“Bartlett acknowledges that drilling would have an environmental cost,....”

Compare these costs (about 2,000 acres of land for the drilling rigs, plus access roads and pipelines — none of which will harm the Caribou) to the environmental costs of biofuels (millions of acres of good farmland diverted to growing fuel, water depletion, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.).

Oh great, well it only takes like 10 minutes to get it out of the ground and into your fuel tank, so it should have an immediate effect on those high prices. Sorry, way too late.

As the election and $4/gal gas looms, the RINOs, who helped the Dems defeat ANWAR drilling all these years, are falling into line.
Now the voters ought to go after the Democrats in their districts, who are the main culprits. Let them know that if they and Pres. Clinton had let drilling commence 10 years ago, there would be an additional 1,000,000 barrels of oil available for the US every day. Their dancing to the enviro-nazis’ tune is costing every family approximately $3,500 in extra fuel costs this year...the Gaia-worshiper tax.

Finally!! A congressman with common sense.

Why isn't President Bush pushing ANWR drilling in a national address from the Oval Office? This is the time to do it.

Swell, Roscoe. But what do we do for the next 8-10 years until such oil reaches the consumer? Jackass!

I don't know how it would work, but a caller into a radio show today suggested that since 80% of the domestic oil we produce in the US is actually exported to other countries, maybe it is time that the congress introduces emergency legislation to stop that. If we kept 100% of our own oil, that would increase supply at a time we desperately need it.

I’m more interested in opening up exploration off the east and west coasts than Alaska.

Greenies make me crazy. We have oil platforms off the Louisiana coast. Guess where the best fishing is - yep, by the oil rigs. And, the ones inland have never caused any trouble. In fact, the deer cross over the pipelines and hunters know this. Wild life is abundant. But the sheeple keep buying into the green agenda like it is their salvation or something. Loons - all of them!

co-sponsored a bill that would allow for oil and gas production on part of the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The bill should allow for drilling, not only in Alaska, but off-shore, as well.

Heck, China is drilling on the Cuban shelf just 60 miles off Flordia, but US companies are not allowed to drill off US coasts.

Our political numbats in Washington are the ones strangling us with their idiotic regulations,
