Johannes,

Regardless of who is to blame for the politics, the point is that this is a political problem, not an energy source problem. Drilling in the ANWR does nothing to help California.

The radical environmental movement has yet to make the case as to exactly WHY the energy providers would want to screw up the coastlines, etc., etc. This is another situation where a groundless accusation plays well in the media, so it is made out of hand.

The true agenda is that, if humanity is to be stopped, its energy production must be cut off. This proceeds logically into perpetrating the myth that, wherever energy is produced, there must necessarily be damage. Humanity is the enemy, and therefore their ability to negatively impact nature is the axiom. The enviro-left is not called to account. So they continue.

The real problem has always been that they CANNOT destroy humanity. They are destined to lose. But in being given artificial power by the left-wing media, their ultimate and inevitable defeat risks unnecessary damage to the legitimate, reasonable cause of conservation. "Environmental" has already become the 4-letter word of California politics for 2002. That is a shame, but the blame goes to the hysterical enviro-whackos...
