I've just heard on the news, that they are going to allow drilling in the wildlife refuge! Someone please tell me this isnt true! If it is, how do we stop them? I'm in!

But till what time oil will last?

They said it would give them 25 years of oil that they wouldnt have to get from Saudi Arabia.
Just 25 years.
And they are willing to rape and pillage for just 25 years worth of oil.

Raven,
Have you ever been to Alaska? If you flew over at 30,000 feet, I doubt you would even be able to see what they are proposing to do. The wildlife refuge is huge. Alaska is huge. Our appetite for oil isn't going to go away until the oil does...good or bad, that's just a fact. Should we do very little harm in Alaska or should we continue to rely on sources we may have to fight for?

I agree with you Clint for i have lived in Alaska before and the areas that i have been in Alaska are minute compared to the rest of the state. I know theres many hundreds of square miles that have never even been touched by a persons foot. On onother subject Alaska has already been making plans to expand the oil pipeline but acually action in doing so could be years off.

Clint, excellent reply! Yippie, Yeah, someone said it that way! People are bitching about gas prices now, they haven't seen anything yet. I say if the oil is needed, take it.

I agree with you and Paula to a point. I would say that if we need it we should take it with the most care for the environment we can possibly employ. If we NEED it, and some would say we don't.

You are right. I do not want them to ruin the environment or to hurt the animals in any way!
