Half of the North Slope oil production in Alaska is shutting down
today. That is about 8% of the US production.

Yeah, but the envirofreaks claim that opening 7% of ANWR to oil
exploration wouldn't ease prices.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.


You seem to be in contention for official newsgroup horse's ass...congrats.

Either you want the oil to flow and the prices to go down or you want to
stem the flow of oil and have the prices go up. I want the former.

Why should we let oil just sit in the ground? If we can reduce our
dependence upon foreign oil by drilling in ANWR, the coast of CA and the
Gulf of Mexico we would be doing what some lefties want.

So your definition of "sensible" is:

(a) claim opening 7% of ANWR to oil exploration won't raise oil prices;

(b) oppose opening 7% of ANWR to oil exploration;

(c) complain when shutting off 8% of US oil supply causes prices to rise.

Your definition of "sensible" does not pass the "reasonable man" test.

Care to explain why?


I say America has to cut it's consumption by at least 10%. Gasoline
rationing might help. Let's say...the first 40 or 50 gallons per month
at market price and anything over that should have a stiff 'luxury' tax
added

If you look at figure 2 in the following link, you'll note that it's the
consumption side of the equation, not the production side, that is causing
most of our dependence on foreign oil. Regardless, whether you drill in
ANWR or not, cheap oil is history.

Why should we cut our oil consumption by 10%? Is it so that India and
China and use the oil?

Rationing is not an economically sound practice.

Gas a luxury?

PatBert, wasn't it you who said reduced demand would send a message to the
oil companies? The free enterprise argument, remember?

No, I don't advocate reducing our oil consumption. I am an advocate for
building nuclear plants all over the US and storing the waste in the
facility built in Nevada. I also advocate poking holes in the earth any
where there may be oil and pumping every last bit out and using it.

What evidence do you have that the price will go down if we drill in
ANWR?
