My real argument against ANWR is not the animal protection thing though, it is the nonsense that this will help. It will help in a tiny way, but will at the same time hurt efforts to get our oil consumption down. And this is the important argument, imo. It's a distraction from the longterm goal by thinking ANWR "solves" anything. Studies indicate that the caribou weren't harmed in any way, and the number of people who ever actually see ANWR is very very small- it's not exactly the Grand Canyon, which I think McCain drew some comparison to recently. Because I readily admit to knowing little about this stuff- maybe you can tell me- why are the Chinese allowed to drill 50 miles off our coasts, and yet Congress wouldn't allow us to drill 50-200 miles? I really don't understand any of that.
