My problem is the Fed's should not own Alaska and or have the right to say if private business can work there. That is pure fascism.

I also know, the vast majority of oil in Alaska goes to Japan and does not even come to the US even with the high prices we cannot help ourselves.

The government says oil goes to Japan for "balance of trade" and such ... which is why you hear of no oil shortage problems in Japan.

Our second problem is one we drill, where to we refine? Here in California you cannot due to government regulations so, while I support opening up to drilling if the oil can come here, we need to build refineries as well.

ABC Radio News just announced a 51-49 vote authorizing drilling in ANWR.

Pretty pathetic considering Republicans have 55 seats, but at least it passed. I wonder who the four fake Republicans who voted against were.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't have a problem if the environmentalist whacko's had won... Seems a little F'n stupid to me over a 6 month supply of oil.

good news then......onward with the threat of drilling!

notice today that OPEC was going to increase production....

I am all for drilling, reluctantly....I hate tearing up the Earth...but damn, we must have our own supply so these OPec monsters have a little competition...

I would also like us now to develop and maintain a productive energy supply, with increasing MPG on our vehicles, if that is what it takes....and can we finally get solar energy to be practical and affordable?

That is pure fascism.

Private profit at public expense is one of the hallmarks of fascism.....a mixture of capitalism, socialism, and nationalism.

Nonetheless, this bill stops the government from blocking drilling.

To the extent that they control the process is the extent to which you'll recognize national socialism.

The federal government bought Alaska in 1867. Not all the land is owned privately. So the public lands are under the control of the Congress.

McCain, Chafee, Snowe. But Specter voted to allow the drilling. And Landrieu (D) as well. So there were a few more repub idiots. McCain can never have my support only an ass would stop us from developing oil right next to the North Slope success, with the oil crisis the world is facing.
