Assuming Dr. Hubbert is accurate in his predictions,

I don't know what sort of science is mandatory for dentists (assuming

prevalence in natural phenomenon?

Dr. Hubbert's analysis of oil production for individual wells has been
proven over and over to be very accurate. Whether it applies to fossil
fuel production on a global scale is somewhat open to question. However
there is no good reason (other than wishful thinking) to assume that a
lot of little bell curves (individual oil well production) don't add up
to one big bell curve (global oil production).


... wouldn't you *want* an
oil man (men) running the country?

I personally would not necessarily be against 'an oil man' running the
country in an era of decreasing fossil fuel resources; however I would
certainly not want 'an oil man' or any other type of man who was
primarily focussed on short term profits for himself & his circle of
buddies. Which is exactly what we currently have.


...And why do liberals oppose drilling in
ANWR?

Because there is little or no point in destroying a valuable ecosystem
for a very short term benefit to the many, and huge profit to the few.
