I STRONGLY disagree with 1, 2, and 3
I think you are all TOTALLY FN nuts or just damned uninformed.

#1)Estimated reserves in ENTIRE alaskan reserve is estimated to be about a 60 day supply. Let's say it is a 3 year supply instead. Yeh, lets pump it all out now.
What a joke.
#2&3) Yes lets pollute more and kill more tress in the eastern US as well as trout in the lakes. While we are at it, lets increase pollutants into the air so we can continue to destroy the ozone layer, increase cancerous pollutants, and poison more people

Why not let Big oil run the country?
Oops - looks like they already do.
They do not need your pathethic help, Bush already knows who got him elected and is paying them back ins spades.

Sh*t, what about conservation, mandated MPG increases, elploration of alternate energy sources (oops- such a stupid thought, big oil and coal states do not want that).
While we are at it, lets have no standards on anything. Who needs them? High sulphur coal, who cares let's put more SO2 (sulphuric acid into the air). We will all be dead in 40 years or so, so why care.

Why do all the tankers fly Iberian or other foreign flags. Cause US liability is too high for EXON to sail its own tankers. Ibearia and others could give a shit about spills in Alaska.

While we are at it. Let's pass a law limiting liability to oil companies for spills to $1. Let's just give the the Artic. Why not. Let's build road for them as well, just like we do for the loggers so they can make more money at taxpayer expense. We build road in the National Forests so loggers can cut down trees and sell them to Japan. The best trees go overseas. Heck, big oil makes measly billions of $, so I feel so so bad for them. Let's give them double the insane tax breaks that Bush has already given them. Heck, why should oil pay any taxes at all. In fact, I say, every red-blooded american should send $ to the oil companies cause they clearly need an ecconomic boost in these trying times.

This petition is so FN INSANE and anyone who supports it has hopped on the bandwagon without
1) thinking
2) caring what happens later

You are all NUTS!!!!!
