Yeah, let Alaska decide for itself:
"The Justice Department accused (GOP Senator) Stevens of accepting expensive work on his home in Girdwood, Alaska, a ski resort town outside Anchorage, from oil services contractor VECO Corp. and its executives. VECO normally builds oil processing equipment and pipelines, but its employees helped do the work on Stevens' home."

Thanks for sharing your VAST knowledge with all of us silly uninformed folks. You seem to like CAPS so I thought I'd use them too. Kind of like a child when they want someone to listen...yell and scream and stamp your feet and turn red...reminds me of your post. I'm sure YOU have ALL the answers...that is...all the RIGHT answers...and no one else has a clue. Thank you for informing everyone how the world works. Now quietly and gingerly, GFY.

How can you complain about the price of petrol ( gas ) when we are paying nearly $10 a gallon here. See you all in two weeks when I come over for my summer holiday ( vacation).

Obviously the majority of Americans that agree with drilling have not been able to comprehend the simple fact that oil is a nonrenewable resource and one day it will be gone. Instead of passing the burden on to future generations we could deal with the problem now.

Saw an oil company ad today. One point some-odd trillion dollars invested. Exploration, environment,(and I'll add lobbyists and clean-ups), and all I can think is... "What if that were invested in alternative fuel?"
It's not that battery power or hydrogen fuel cells are more expensive... it's just that they are not as profitable. Furthermore, any reasonable aternative fuel would lower oil prices.
And oil isn't the only industry profiting from increased oil prices. Natural gas and coal are both benefiting from increased oil prices. I'm sure their lobbyists are doing their best to squelch a turn toward renewable energy.
I don't care which President one blames. We need this yesterday and renewable energy needs to be addressed now.
Talk about "Let alaskans decide". Let Florida decide whether we want offshore drilling. Oh, wait, we already did. It was banned.
Get ready for oil slicks, folks. They may be a distant train whistle right now, but that train is headed our direction. And I think the brakes are broken.
