We should allow exploratory drilling for oil in the homes of GOP voters.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

imran is siding with the repukes

it's only the fairest, as of yet, way to choose leaders... but everything should not just be put up to a vote.
but I suspect the dopes in alaska are evil and get boners from destroying the environment just like you and your repuke ilk

Hence my Manhattan Project/Apollo Program analogy. I'm suggesting that we could have an alternative in a relatively short period of time if we made having such an alternative a national priority. Instead, our only priority is "more oil," which will mean more wilderness destruction, more undesireable alliances, and more dubious military adventures for years to come. We can do better than that.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
There is no alternative to oil at this time. I prefer to make decisions based on how things are, not how we might want them to be..."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

FYI, we already have such alternatives. They are just politically unacceptable in our NIMBY culture.I'm suggesting that we could have an alternative in a relatively short period of timeI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

And I'm saying such a scenario is fantasy. It could be true. Then again, it could not. Either way, when making a decision on whether or not to allow oil exploration in ANWR, I would prefer to leave speculation about the development of future fuel technologies out of the equation...KH FOR OWNER!

Interestingly enough, I ran into an article a month or so ago that talked about how the Neo-cons (and I use this term precisely, not to refer to anyone who voted for Bush or anyone else I don't like) have been looking at ways to use less oil and to investigate alternatives to oil. The gist was that we would be denying a major market to the ME dictatorships, and hence force a wave of democratic revolutions. Perhaps this will end up being the impetous necessary to actually devote serious resources to alternative energy sources."Remember, there's good stuff in American culture, too. It's just that by "good stuff" we mean "attacking the French," and Germany's been doing that for ages now, so, well, where does that leave us?" - ElokComment

Actually, I think THAT it has less to do with our NIMBY culture than it is to do with Three-Mile Island. Try to buld a nuclear power plant and you'll get a bunch of eco-nuts exaggerating the dangers of nuclear power. Hell, we are such a scientifically ignorant society that you could get people to ban water if you called it by it's chemical name (dihydrogen monoxide).Originally posted by DanS

It's entirely possible the laws of phsyics just won't allow us to get energy sources as cheap and convenient (in liquid form) as oil/gasoline.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly
It took us 4 years to go from zero to the creation of the first atomic bomb.
It took us 9 years to go from a space program that was a joke to one that put a man on the moon.
We're America, dammit! I can't believe we can't come up with an alternative to oil. We're just not trying, or not trying hard enough.Comment

Why does anyone care about ANWR, other than oil? For Chrissakes, oil is more important than a few animals. Animals are a renewable "resource", oil, not so much
