        I actually heard there are huge amounts of oil there. Don't believe everything in the liberal press.

        Also in the gulf of mexico I heard there are huge untapped oil reserves.

          Sounds like an opportunity to sell bedroom shades and draperies.

            As the price of oil keeps increasing, so does investment into the Alberta reserves.

            Not to mention the massive royalty increase due to the price...and the elimination of the Alberta debt, Alberta's looking at a ton of money.

              Drilling in Alaska won't decrease the price of oil one penny. That you can be sure off.

                    Because you, a communist, says so?

                    Anyways, I think I'll be cheering on mostly those hybrid cars (like with fuel cells) and other inventions..

                        Yes, because we know how the economy works. The oil that would be extracted would only be a drop in the bucket. It would only make the oil companies richer.

                            I have heard many estimates, but my gut feeling is that we will have peak oil between 2020 and 2030. Also, I have read that Non-OPEC oil production will peak before production from OPEC countries. And yes, Peak Oil is relevent.

                              They are already too rich. Why ruin the environment just to make them richer?
