If our elected officials would get ANWR and off shore drilling back on the table and passed we won't be at the mercy of every little word of a terrorist when it comes to oil in a few years.

ANWR just doesn't do it. How about something really dramatic, like no SUVs? How about increased commuter rail, not at the mercy of freight rail-line schedules? How about a tax subsidy to users of public transportation? How about sending home all of those illegals...they use fuel resources, after all. How much fuel would be saved if people had smaller lawns and/or hand mowers?

ANWR is kind of like giving a drunk more wine to calm down, just because the wine cellar has plenty of stock.

With the exception of the illegals comment, you sound like you're a socialist from Europe.

How about have the market hash out its own solutions?

You can choose to take public transportation as much as you want, I can choose to drive a car with bad gas mileage, either way don't expect someone else to pick up the tab.

I won't have the federal government telling me what style of vehicle to drive, or how to cut my lawn.

Except for immigration, you offer nothing but "failed in the past" dim solutions! More DOMESTIC energy, and alternative fuel research is our only true hope! The rest of your diatribe belongs on the DU!
