The problem is is that it might be moot. We should have drilled 10 years ago but now which comes online faster, green intitiatives or anwar? We have an immediate critical problem. I would open up the strategic reserve here to burst the oil bubble while at the same time creating a floor for gas at $4. The $4 pain will give impetus for conservation, green, and drilling. I would also work harder on strenghteing the dollar because thats another reason oil is so high.

a) It is hard to see what the opposition is about, since drilling would be limited to a very small area, and drilling doesn't "destroy" the land anyway. The ANWR area is the size of a sizable state and the proposed drilling involves an area the size of an airport. b) ANWR is pretty much a worthless piece of ground anyway, since few can get there and if they did they would find a frozen tundra that is dark 60 days out of the year. c) Even if the ground WERE harmed by the drilling, nobody would ever know it. There it is......asshole with a capital 'A'. Thanks for making my point.
