I would rather they drill in the godforsaken WILDERNESS in Alaska first
They can drill in my backyard, and front yard, if there is oil there.
McCain is for drilling offshore so my take would be that the President would not want to deliberately go against the Republican nominee so close to the election.
I agree with that. ANWR makes more sense from all angles. Weird.
Per Dana Perino on FOX just now- Bush will try to work with local governors on ways to do this- she stressed these are federal waters.
“I would rather they drill in the godforsaken WILDERNESS in Alaska first”
I agree, but this is a step in the right direction. The only way to pressure Congress is take it public. The public now favors drilling. Those moderates, and slightly left leaners drop their ideals quickly when their wallet hurts.
So, take it public. Make Congress give in, or very publicly ignore the wishes of the people.
I agree. It's like the Good Lord said, "Here you go, drill up here, you can't hurt nothin'."
ANWR alone won't help enough. We need to be drilling ANWR and the continental shelf as well as open up the off limits oil shale areas. We have enough oil for quite a while, but we need to go after it everywhere. We also need to be building nuke plants and rapidly developing algae to diesel/gas and supercapacitor technologies. Forget about ethanol.
yes, there, the gulf, off the coasts, digging into the oil shale/tar sands of Utah etc....digging our rich coal deposits and building lots of nuke plants.
We need to DO IT ALL!
WE KNOW!!! NOT IN MY BACK YARD! Another so called freeper rino.....
ANWR has about one fifth of the reserves we have offshore. The offshore ban is the much bigger supply restriction. Ultimately, we need ANWR too. But this is a great start.

Anywhoo ...

NOW I really gotta fly outta here! Later...
They need to do both. Declare it a National Security issue and order ANWAR open by Executive Order.
We need to do both. The Cubans and Chinese are going after that oil in the gulf anyway. I think it makes more sense for us to go get it. We can do it cleaner and safer too.
