I have a question...

Who's to say that if we start drilling the a-holes over in OPEC won't cut production negating any gains of increased production?

We've shown what we're willing to pay... why would they allow the price to drop?  They can maintain their reserves longer, sell oil at the price they want... seems to me like they've got us by the short and curlies.

The more we drill, the more we find.....the less we need them. Build enough nuke power plants, find some alternatives, , find and use the oil we have, maybe even find a better way to produce hydrogen that is actually feasible.....and the Arabs lose a customer permanently. I'm not seeing a problem. :D

Ive seen herds of Caribou in Alaska that took an hour to fly over. Literally the herds there blacken the land with their numbers. Any more conservation of those herds and they will be starving for lack of food. Polar bears are already over populated and thats why they are drowning after swimming for days to try to find their own territory IMO. Pretty sure the natives in the area would say the same thing.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

This is the way to go in comparison to drilling & it is  technology that works Hitler kept his war machine running on it. Plus no huge pipe lines from Alaska to here in the lower 48 rail & road would solve all the transportation issues & it is still cheaper than drilling for it.    http://governor.mt.gov/hottopics/faqsynthetic.asp

There are issues with FT coal technology too.

But we need to accept some of these issues for energy independance.

Interesting stuff. America has huge reserves of coal also.

By the way, drilling now won't help oil prices for quite a while IIRC.
Why do you want to delay for even one more day if you know we will need this resource ten years from now?

If we had begun measures to increase energy efficiency 10 years ago, we could already be independent of middle east oil.

Last time I looked, ANWAR was in Alaska.

Ain't it an Alaskan issue? Nobody in Alaska seems to mind drillin the hell outta the place, including the Eskimos.

Since the Federal Policy on offshore drilling has been relaxed to a 'state decision' on their coastlines, why in hell is there a problem with the Fed's relaxing the restrictions on ANWAR?

Politics, I'm thinkin...

The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...
