RE:"Q: If a chemical spills on the surface of the land, where does it go? A: Into the water table. And then into rivers and lakes." I don't believe that the tundra "unfreezes". Never the less, I'd want to see some plans from the drillers to minimize spill damage. In various parts of the world oil seepage is natural. Like off the coast of Santa Barbara into the ocean and up on to the beach. So crude may not be as contained as you might think. Jim

Scumbria, When brought to the surface, they present potential for contamination of surface drinking water. Yes, it is 1,000,000st source of potential contamination, in addition to 100,000 sources of actual contamination. If you are going to lose any sleep over this, don't you think it is a better idea to work on minimizing actual sources of contamination that are contaminating air and water now, every minute, rather than something that may potentially happen? Don't you think think this is a reversal of your position from your opposition to SDI, where you and Ted those that want to reduce the loss of life from a potential danger of accidental launch or a deliberate act? It seems like you are back to your Democratic straightjacket. Joe
