By all means, let the market decide.

Ok then we have no real disagreement.

Many cheaper solutions exist, but are widely ignored. For example, if all replacement tires on vehicles were as efficient (low rolling resistance) as new it would save more oil than economically available in ANWR.

I would be perfectly happy to buy more efficient tires if the price is right.

I'm not sure what this has to do with government policy.

You forgot to agree to the limit of 2,000 acres of IMPACT. Since everyone is preaching this as gospel it shouldn't be hard to make and keep that promise.

So many here make it sound like drilling in ANWR is the only answer, a critical must for our energy security. I used the simple tire example to show how inaccurate those claims are.

And I haven't heard anyone address the security of the TAP. I doubt I will either considering it is not only impossible to defend, but is also nearing the end of its projected lifespan. Doesn't it seem silly to put so much hope in oil that has a single, highly vulnerable delivery system?
