Your argument makes no sense, as you put it, because:

1) I did not say: lets go in there and start drilling. You said that. My previous post merely put the consequences of doing so in perspective. I don't have any oil boys, and I do not own any oil stocks.

2) once you open it up there will be no stopping where they drill. Congressional authorization is required, so this statement is 'silly,' as you put it.

3) The portion of ANWR where oil was found is NOT wilderness, and is set up for study of natural resources.

The 1980 expansion of the refuge designated 1.5 million acres (6,070 km²) of the coastal plain as the 1002 area and mandated studies of the natural resources of this area, especially petroleum.

4) You accused me of having no understanding of wild areas. I'll put my experience on the ground in them and with management of them up against yours any day.

As I understand it, the protocol for this thread specifies that issues are up for debate but personal attacks are not.

You threw down the gauntlet on that, and I'm calling you on it. It would be nice if you got your facts straight, as that has been required of me.

I guess you think you're doing your part by not owning an SUV. Congratulations on that. I don't either. Frankly nothing will be done about the conservation of oil until the price gets to where it hurts.
