The challenge is the transition to other, cleaner sources, sources that won't run out as quickly as oil will. The opposition of "environmentalists" to nuclear energy has caused huge damage to the environment, and additional potential damage that drilling in Alaska will cause is their responsibility to a large extend.

Joe,

Is conservation verboten in you vocabulary?

Joe,

The same is true if the oil is extracted from Mexico, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia or Russia. What's the difference?

I think we are getting down to the root of the problem here. Was that a serious question?

Joe-

Those are all foreign countries where we have no right to set standards. We can actually at least *try* to do things on our own soil that we can't there. Big difference.

I have heard that the Alaska field in question would keep the US energy self sufficient for 6 months. Have you heard differently?
