Look all I'm saying (speaking from my own "independent" wing) is that I won't personally benefit from hurting Alaskan wilderness. And that our focus on oil, is the very thing that is about to lead us into another WorldWar.

We shoud develop new technologies. I also believe these gas driven power generators are extremely detrimental, and we should build more nuclear plants, which are much cleaner, and cost effective.

I'm with you on nuclear power but there is no other energy-creating technology that is cost-effective that can be "developed" right now. Also, the "dirtyness" of oil and even clean coal is over-hyped by "environmentalists" who earn their money as hustlers for doom and gloom.

While I agree with building more nuclear plants, here's a reality check for you: The world currently runs on oil. Our national security and standard of living are directly tied to the free flow of oil in the world. That's why we go to war over it.

If we go to war with Iraq, I'd personally like to see us commandeer their oil fields as spoils of war. And if the other barbaric little despots in the region want to screw with us, let's take theirs, also.
