It IS different. Even if we started building and drilling now, we're still facing steady depletion until that comes on line. It's part of the solution (not the entire solution as Shawn Hannity seems to think). My view is that the scope of the problem overall is too big to ignore any of the supply components. Especially since there is no ready substitute for diesel in certain heavy industries that are "mission critical", particularly farming.

If you really wanna get to brass tacks with resources and our children, start addressing world overpopulation. If that's not gonna get solved, we'll have a huge die off in any event and whether we drilled ANWR or not will be almost a comic sideshow by comparison. I never here a peep about that from the Greens (and certainly not from the cons either). It's the ultimate 3rd rail......

Put another way, if we had acted sooner to develop alternatives, we'd still have the luxury of holding back ANWR and the OCS. I believe we've forfeited those options by sleepwalking too long.
