the seante will never pass ANWR. To be honest, once this iraq oil starts to flow onto the market, we won't need it.

seante = senate

We need it for a lot of reasons. We get most of our foreign oil from Canada (1st), Mexico, the Northern Atlantic, western Africa, etc.

I'm worried about those regions as much as the middle east.

ANWR now, or ANWR in 2004. Free the American resources for the American people. Just say NO to dependence on Jihadists and Watermelon appeasement!

Sorry, slow news day. (^:

If I may add a little insight here? I'm a Geologist. The ANWR region is known to have only enough reserves to supply the country for SIX MONTHS. Then it will be dry.

Wouldn't the money spent on developing the ANWR oil field be better spent on getting alternative energy solutions mainstreamed to the public? Solar, wind, hydrogen cars, etc. all exist, but they are not mass produced, so they are all still relatively expensive. IMHO, we need to spend money on renewable energy resources, not on extracting the last drop of oil from the planet. Oil is a finite resource. It cannot be replaced. Once it's gone, it's gone. What will the grandchildren of our grandchildren do when we've used up all the world's oil?

I welcome thoughtful responses. But hey, if you have a witty response instead, lemme have it! ;-)
