Ruining the land doesn't just affect the migration of some herd of caribou; it changes the weather, it alters local economies, it pollutes the air/water/soil, etc.

You're lost in Candy Land if you think more drilling in the states would reduce gas prices to a dollar a gallon.
Drilling where we currently ARE Allowed to seems to be working out great. Def not jeopardiizing our current ecosystems at all

I'm not in "candy land" I realize the implications behind it. Its my opinion. I've made it apparent Im an advocate of alternate energys...but the desire/need for gas will at least in my lifetime NEVER go away.

We were supposed to be in flying cars by now...You see how well that worked out.

Why can't we do both? I'm all for research in to alternative sources of energy, but it isn't like with people off working on that there isn't anyone left to rape and pillage the ANWR. While we are at it we should have another group throwing up nuclear power plants too. Either way you are right there in Candy Land too if you think we aren't going to need tens of millions of barrels of oil every day anytime soon.

Theres a mixed Argument...Half the assfucks who dont know for sure say it wouldnt make a difference, half of them say it would.

I say lets drill and supply ourselves and stop relying on countries who fucking hate us.

I can barely accept and afford 3$ a gallon...5$ is gonna make me contemplate trading my truck in.

Yeah...It all makes me sick. Fucking ridiculous. These Libiyan fucks are gonna drive prices up murder innocent people and demand the citizens of the country do what they say or well, you die.

Whats even worse is Ghadafi's Son...Dude is straight Postal...He's off his fucking rocker. That family isnt stepping down form anything anytime soon.

As far as getting it out of the ground I would believe it is, unless there are some elves down there making more out of pixie dust
