So we cant drill oil in a barren wasteland like the Arctic cirlce but its OK to put up hundreds of 400 foot tall windmills right off the east coast that affects fisherman and kill birds and look like shit. Way to prioritize liberals, where would we be without you? :rolleyes:
It takes 13,000 acres of wind generators ..........to produce the equivalence in btu's of an average producing single hydrocarbon well (about 3 acres of foot print).

But think of the poor caribou, Trav. What right do we have to inconvenience them just so we can have oil. Next thing you'll be wanting to build in areas inhabited by the Pygmy Skunk or some other such animal. Can't you just learn to live with nature. If it comes to a question of animals vs. humans, the animals always win. You oil loving, fascist pig.

if we are in iraq for oil, and yet the same people who dont want us in iraq dont want us to drill any of our own oil, isnt it kind of thier fault we are in iraq? I guess 100,000 iraqis and 2,000 americans are not as important a 2 herds of caribou

Iraqis aren't cute, Trav, and just look at those caribou, they are so damned cute and cuddly.

Trust me, when oil prices get high enough, all the pissing and moaning in the world won't stop those drillers from drilling.

They're high enough now. Let's start drilling.

Always so goddamn impatient, aren't we? When will Americans learn that you can't have everything you want when you want it?

1st - The oil from ANWR is already promised to Japan. Americans will never see a drop of that oil.
2nd - The first delivery of oil (regardless of who gets it) will be at least 7 years from now. By then, we americans had better be comitted to alternative fuels or we'll be either a bankrupt nation or on the brink. The rest of the world isn't going to wait for us on this one.
