Drilling in Alaska

President George W. Bush is advocating an increase in energy supply, rather than a decrease in demand. While it may be too late to stop gas prices from rising for the summer travel season, Bush is advocating tapping the oil supply at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Northeast Alaska. Not surprisingly this is causing some backlash with environmental activists and the few inhabitants of the snow tundra. They argue that the available oil supply in the ANWR is not sufficient enough to justify the potential environmental damage.

"I campaigned hard on the notion of having environmentally sensitive exploration at ANWR," Bush said last month, "and I think we can do so." Environmentalists counter that just as there is no way to be half-pregnant, there is no "sensitive" way to drill in a wilderness.

What do you guys think of this? Are you for drilling for oil in Alaska's Wildlife Refuge?

absolutley not. there has to be a better solution somewhere and as usual baby bush wants to find a quick easy answer without thinking about the consequiences. or he knows some issues but chooses not to acknowledge them to himself or the public.

He's just trying to help out his rich oil buddies get even richer is all. That's the biggest part of why things are as bad as they are now, Bush and Chenney are their friends and helping them get all the money they can.

There is NO oil shortage. It's all an invented crisis to control the world.
