Assuming that's true, which it isn't, then why drill at all?
It makes no sense. A much better solution is to improve the
fuel efficiency of cars. That alone would have dramatic
changes in our dependence on foreign oil. We need to move
away from an oil-based dependency, and as typical capitalist
entities, the oil companies are spending big $$ for research
just along those lines. They *know* that oil is a limited
resource and that the prices will probably continue to rise
over time. They're hedging their bets quite rightly.

Your comments smack of right-wing tactics, which have little
or nothing to do with the realities of the situation. Totally
fear-based, must worse than any tree hugger as you put it.

Like Bush and Cheney who would have us drill in the Alaskan wilderness
preserve, or like their friends in the oil industry, or riding around
in AF1 or AF2 back and forth to Crawford instead of taking care of
business.

Read up man. The amount of space that's desired in Alaska for drilling amounts
to a pin prick on a basketball court. Typical tree hugger scare tactics.

Ain't you calling the kettle ..........
Nobody uses scare tactics more than the liberal left. Oh gee if the repubs get
in old people will be on the streets, kids will starve and be kicked out of
school and Alaska will melt. Get off that horse.

Hell with that. I want 10 cyl. Vipers to come down in price so everyone can
afford one.

Reminds me of another joke...

A mouse gets caught in the mud. Finally an elephant hears
his crys for help, leans over and lets the mouse climb up
his dick to safety. Several weeks go by, and coincidently
the very same elephant himself gets caught in the mud and
the very same mouse hears his crys for help. So, the mouse
runs into town, gets in a porshe, roars back, and pulls
the elephant free. The moral of the story is that if you
have big dick, you don't need a porshe.
