#3 you guys can eat oil, instead of food as the vast majority seem to be non human anyway.

#6 Fine, but understand that "Subsidy" is very unpopular for now and drilling does minimal damage and maximum contrubution to what it is we are trying to build. In 30 years from now, Even though you are driving a Hydro vehicle, Someone in China may still need oil to run a vehicle way up there in the mountains.

#7 How about banning Alaskan oil exports to the Puget Sound and SF Bay Areas? I can sleep quite soundly knowing Alaskan oil is air freighted nightly to Texas oil refineries.

#9 Wow, WHAT is wrong with Mr. President? Over the past 4 decades, environmental concerns are thee #1 rallying point across party lines. When it comes to the health of the land, water, and sky, party lines disappear. This is the indisputable record. Like his father before him, the younger Bush seems to be shooting himself in the foot on the way out. With a machine gun. And like dear old dad, he's taking the Republican Party down with him.

Yes, I'm ticked.

#10 It might provide "200 million barrels of crude oil, about what the U.S. imports every 16 days.

Oh, that's really brilliant. Destroy the whole fuckin' area for 16 day's worth of oil.

WHAT is going on?
