No, that's why we need to get OFF oil.
Everyone knows ANWAR oil (if it is ever drilled) will take 10 years to get to market. In ten years we could get 50% off oil AND save the wilderness to boot. AND create many more jobs than some big drilling operation can. That is, with Bush-Cheney out of there. They are the only ones standing in the way, they and their oil cartel friends.

If we drilled every wilderness area in the US it wouldn't come close to freeing us from the Saudis and Saddam. Only with new fuel technology can we do that. It's so obvious.

Kerry is right when he notes that Thomas Edison was told he could never do it but saved us decades of coal pollution by inventing electricity. But now is the time to take another quantum leap ahead, not backward. We are smart and rich enough to succeed if we all fight for this together, Republicans too. Free your party from Big Oil and get involved.

Remember also, oil supplies are projected to last only 40 years anyway. It's not a permanent fuel source it's just around for about 100 years during this phase of human industrial evolution. Bush is at the tail-end of this phase telling us we ought to go backward instead of forward. Doesn't make sense, especially post 9/11 with Saudi terrorists attacking us.

And the damage done to the planet already is extremely costly and maybe irreversible. Global warning and erosion of the ozone layer alone could actually eventually wipe out life on earth. So why support old-fashioned poluting fuels at such a high cost to humanity and the earth? Why? Just because you think GW is a great guy? Well guess what? He's just a politician. And he's not fighting for you he's fighting for Big Oil. Before you wax romantically about him just remember where his bread is buttered, primarily Enron and all their cronies. Bush-Enron-Bush-Enron. Your new mantra. Repeat it until you get it. The GOP would be howling for CLinton's head if he'd ever done anything like that. But now they are busy covering up the Bush-Enron debacle. They won't succeed. Just like the Catholic Church, denying sin and responsibility doesn't work. What goes around comes around.
