first off I'm not an environmentalist but when corporate America wants to despoil our natural wonders The barren ice-covered tundra and permafrost of the North Slope is a "natural wonder"?? oil like blood belongs in a pipeline or vessel not clogging the earth's or man's pores David... Do you know where Oil come from? Hint: It doesn't come from a man-made source like a pipeline.. Secondly, hydrocarbons formed a HUGE PERCENTAGE of the material that oozes from the earth's "pores" (other than magma, that is)... Go look at yourself in the mirror again, David... You're an enviromental wacko, and you and I know it... <vbg> It's alright... coming "out" and facing one's true nature is an important step for growth and change in one's soul. Regards, Ron

<<oil like blood belongs in a pipeline or vessel not clogging the earth's or man's pores>> I hate to break this to you, but the oil which does the least damage to the environment, is that oil which is produced & refined most near the point of use. The transport of petroleum is where the loss happens. This is why Gore / clinton are VERY wrong, we will hurt our world far less if we produce our own oil instead of bringing it from far away. The best 1st thing we could do would REVERSE the ban of offshore west coast driling!! Next, reverse bans on use of our western clean burning low sulpher COAL! Next, allow drilling for Natural Gas ANYWHERE in the US!!!!

as far as the Valdez accident, there is irrepairable damage to the land and sea You disappoint me, apparently you spend too much time watching biased TV reports and not enough time getting the facts.: "By mid-summer 1991, 2.5 years after the spill, only 10% of the species recorded still exhibited spill impacts (Day et al. 1995, Wiens et al. 1996, Wiens 1996, Murphy et al. 1997, Day et al. 1997). Studies since that time, in 1996 and 1998, have shown continuing recovery in habitat occupancy by previously impacted species, so that now all affected species have recovered or recovery is well underway. Importantly, roughly half of the species we recorded never exhibited any statistically detectable spill effects, even when we used liberal statistical criteria for judging spill impacts." lamar.colostate.edu And more: valdezscience.com
