But, it is those same enviro nuts who also want to reduce consumption! This story doesn't quite ring believable. How is it that we neither get ANRW nor efficient cars? It is not democrats blocking efficient cars.

The Saudis know the environuts will spend these contributions on the anti-ANWR front. Everyone realizes that's the current battle. They also know any successful effort to reduce consumption will come from the consumer, not the environuts.

You are speculating, as am I.
