Question:
The House of Representatives recently voted on legislation that, if passed, would open the Arctic Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and other fragile wildlands in the U.S. to oil development.
Is there a =lot= of wildlife in the artic? 
/ I’ve seen hundreds of oil wells in the 30 years i’ve driving around Oklahoma….. a few looked pretty messy, but i’ve NEVER seen any serious threat to wildlife, and any contamination was always very localized around the well. I think you people are just paid puppets for the Arabs.

Bill, do not forget the "other" products that also come from petroleum, such as many of the plastics we use today. Carl – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – There is no other place on earth quite like the rolling tundra, rugged Brooks Range, boreal forests, coastal lagoons and barrier islands of the 19.6 million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska. Within the refuge, the 1.5-million-acre coastal plain is often referred to as "America’s Serengeti" and like its African counter-part, it sustains an immense herd of large migratory mammals. I can agree with this. However, you could probably make the same statement about any other 20,000,000 acre tract and be correct then, too.

Oh Clueless Tool of OPEC, let me ask you a question: Are you willing to give up your car, turn off your lights and give up on everything you have or use that has any energy input from drilled oil? Hm-m-m? I didn’t think so. Neither am I. So it seems that the real issue is how do we extract the maximum amount of oil with the least disturbance to such an area. Unlike the Militant Tree-Hugging Anarchist Twits, I think it can be done. Then, fool that I am, I have an abiding faith in the proposition that technology got us into this mess and only technology will save us–at least save us to lead anysort of life that I’m interested in leading. No of course if you can tell me "how to help" bypass fools like you, who would rather starve in the dark, you just let me know. Bill Seward http://www.geocities.com/bill_seward

Hey Bill, now none of that… Don’t be insulting anarchists, by associating them with these leftist totalitarians… — When encryption is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir rapelcgvba.

The environmental a**holes put out the same crap about the Alaska pipeline and, despite the previous evidence the the animals don’t give a damn, they’re starting again. It’s a lot easier to get all concerned about the animals in a place you’ll never see than to deal with having a real life. I frankly suspect they aren’t smart enough to be getting paid. for it, just dupes with big, BIG mouths. Ask yourself who can make money off of the U.S. NOT drilling and producing the oil. That is who is funding the morons. Same situation as the big bullshit concern about CFC’s that just HAPPENED to correspond to the patents expiring.

One of the "better" ideas of any government, is to use up your potential enemies natural resources. Thus, buy up the competitions oil supply to burn at your leisure and have your reserve safe for a rainy day… So, should we use our own oil now or later? Hmm…
The known fuel resoarces in the Earth are so vast they will last another 300 years. The coal fields in the USA are truely staggering, we have more coal than the Arabs have oil. Gasoline made from coal would probably cost about $4 a gallon – about half of Hitler’s army ran on gas made from coal / There’s plenty of things to take the place of oil, it’s just how much you’re willing to pay for it. We still don’t even know who Bill Clinton appointed the head of the Department of Energy who has been sitting on his butt for the last 8 years that created this energy crisis. The press won’t even whisper his name cause then Clinton/Democrats might take some of the blame, but they’re tripping over each other to make everyone assosicate Bush Jr. with oil with energy crisis with depression :O/

In the gas fields I worked, the wildlife was far more prominant than in the surrounding terrain. We were required to vegitate the P&A’d well pads and along the gas lines and anywhere there was earth disturbance. The requirement was ridiculous. We was practically making the P&A’d well pads almost as green as golf courses.
