McCain needs to be loaded up on a helicopter, dragged kicking if need be, and dropped off in the middle of the 2000 sq acres where we need to drill in ANWR. Let him have a town meeting with mosquitoes.
“One wonders how pristine the Grand Canyon can be if it has roughly 5 million visitors every year..”
Don’t pay too much attention to what McCain says — the man has to lie in order to look credible.
The oil region of ANWR is more than a lot like the Prudhoe Bay oil region.
I see no reason why Hugh Rowland and Alex Debogorski couldn’t drive over the ice roads to deliver drilling supplies to ANWR. BTW, as noted in the series, after the ice road season is over, the tundra beneath the ice roads are untouched because the roads simply melt away.
I remember being pleasantly shocked years ago when "60 Minutes" (I think) did a segment on ANWR showing how modern oil drilling and producing techniques would do very little environmental damage there. So even See B.S. News was at least open-minded about the issue back then.
We are on the edge of a potentially devastating energy crisis. Our modern economy simply cannot survive without oil, and we cannot afford to import it from countries that want to destroy us any longer.
Americans need to wake up! The fact of the matter is that we should be drilling ANYWHERE in this country that oil can be found, even in the middle of national parks that people DO visit! This is turning into a matter of life and death, and our very future as a nation depends on this!
The economy of tomorrow, which will run on clean, efficient, non fossil-based fuels, will simply not be possible unless the economy of today is running full swing. We don’t build the economy of tomorrow by hoping that the energy sources of tomorrow will simply materialize in our hour of need... we do it by using the resources and tools of today.
Liberal sheep, in opposing our ability to do that, are doing far more damage to their claimed causes than they could possibly imagine. Of course, the liberal leadership knows exactly what it’s doing... these people are SO dangerous.
