I'm glad you agree no drilling in ANWAR. It's America's Serengeti. Extremely fragile environment. The pipeline they want to build would go right across the migration course of caribou which have been going that way for a many thousands of years. This "footprints" argument is all wishful thinking. To build a pipeline without seriously harming the environment there would be impossible. Some say that doesn't matter. Who cares about the damn caribou anyway?
Well it's a wildlife preserve for a reason. It's one of the last truly wild places left. It should be preserved for generations to come. In the meantime I for one am driving less, speeding less and putting on a sweatshirt at night. No sense using up more energy than one needs. That kind of conservation alone will save more than we'd get from Alaska. It's easy and saves you money. However I do realize we have a problem with heating oil supply and refinery capacity. Both sides realize that was a mistake. Neither side predicted the need this year. The least Clinton could haev done was release some strategic supply. It bruoght down the price and will give some relief. Also predictions are that oil prices will retreat in the coming year after the winter. That is when the borrowers will pay the reserves back. I'm sure if it weren't a close election race Bush wouldn't have complained and would have agreed. As it was it was a popular decision.
