<<get a bill passed that would require auto makers to make their vehicles only 3 MPG more fuel efficient it would save us more energy than we will get from drilling in ANWAR.>> Of course history proves again and again that's not true.

Plenty of dead dinosaurs to go around, and they aren't all in the Persian Gulf...
