I say we should drill Dave,and pass the leigislation to start drilling right after a mandated 50% increases in MPH are enacted (thus some time after legislated) and a 1.00 tax per gallon of gas is imposed and oil consumption drops less than 30% in the US as a result of those two acts.

Most of the people opposed to drilling in ANWR are in the first category. 1. The miss-informed and ill-informed.

Why would you say the price of gas has to be really high to get into cleaner fuel programs. Seems to me it would gradually lessen demand for gas and the price would go lower. As for your ANWAR statement, have you read the government report on the longterm effects of drilling there? Maybe you are the one who's ill-informed. The results would be devastating and the oil lobbyists are clearing lying through their teeth about it. The only ones ANWAR drilling benefits are the oil companies themselves. And politicians who get soft money from the oil companies. As for it creating jobs, who the hell wants to work in the Arctic anyway? And believe me we already pay a lot more than $2 a gallon when you add in all the defence costs from the Middle East. 9/11 itself is indirectly a result of oil reliance. Will take 10-15 years but let's start getting off it now. And yes, global warming is very real. eventually it would threaten life itself on this planet. without an ozone layer and with rising tides, look out civilization. At the rate we're going we could have serious problems within 50-100 years. Already noticing many mroe forest fires, things like that. This is no coincidence. And I have seen the satelite photos which prove global warming is real. Contrary again to the lies of the pollution lobby and their stooge Bush.
