Big National Security Energy Ping. Current estimates (conservative) are that there is enough gas in the Powder River Basin coals to power California for twenty to thirty years.

During the senate debate on the Energy Bill, almost all the opponents to ANWR, would utter the same refrain: "We're not opposed to drilling, we just don't want to see it in this 'Pristine' wilderness area. Well, it seems their enviro buddies don't want in the Powder either. Currently stalled are thousands of well permits from a federal lawsuit by, you guessed it, Powder River Basin Resource Council, Wyoming Outdoor Council and Biodiversity Associates.

Please note the "footprint" taken up in the picture of your average wellhead. Each well is capable of producing between 150,000 to 500,000 cubic feet of gas per day. An average home uses about 150,000 cubic feet of gas per year for heating, cooling and electricity.

We have to break through this. Congress needs to adjust the jurisdiction of the courts in this matter.

The enviro-nut NIMBYs don't WANT clean-burning natural gas to supply energy: Airport, power plant at odds.

The heck with the dimbulb Kalifornicators -- there are 49 other states that will welcome this source of fuel.
