It would seem that drilling would bring possible horrid outcomes to a formerly pristine area. I can understand why there should be no drilling. The debate was formed by contentions that Kerry would wean us from Arab oil and Big Oil. So far, I haven't seen anything that remotely suggests that Kerry has a plan in this area and this is nothing more than attack everything and just be anti-Bush. Assuming we can't drill here for conservation purposes, what is the Kerry plan? Is it the same old, i.e., wait for alternative fuel vehicles. I'm not saying how old I am, but back when I got my driver's license, these vehicles were supposedly "coming." We need leadership that will be specific and lay out policies that don't worry about stepping on toes. So far, Kerry hasn't done it. All I see is attacks by Bush haters that Bush pandered to big oil and Arab oil. Yes, very true, but that's been our policy for 40 years and more, and under Democrats and Republicans. Will Kerry just bash or will he do something? That's the question.

Thank you Croc. That sort of vital and concrete information doesn't get posted here often enough. Thank you so much for taking the time to bring that information to us.

The oil lobby needs to be regulated again. Pure and simple. I maintain that dereegulation and a too-friendly administration has cost US consumers over 100 billion in gouging and has helped corrupt out government and pollute our environment more. Also, is it a coincidence we just fought an expensive war to take over an oil-producing nation? I think not. As anyone can see, the Al Qaida threat remains, and Saddam had nothing to do with Al Qaida. So why the Bush obsession with Iraq? Oil. tax-payers pay for it but get nothing in return.
