November Elections and Oil

[ldg420]

you know the Alaska Oil Reserve? enough oil for like 4 months, and it takes over 5 years to get access to it all.

actually there is 4.3 to 11.8 billion barrels of oil assumed to be there according to Drilling for Oil in ANWR ~ Tell Me Again What it Solves « The World According to Opa
even though it is statistically low balled at lasting for only one year and 4 months, at least that could possibly by us some time to develop affordable energy alternatives, and by golly it seems like enough to convince me to make a decision to go for it, hell anything that saves me money asap i'm all for!!!!!!!!!:stoned:

I do recall watching a program on either the history channel or national geographic that had geologists stating that they think there may be more crude oil and/or natural gas in ANWR than the entire Middle Eastern oil fields combined. The point is we wont have a definitive answer to the quantity of fossil fuels in this area until we attempt to use the readily available modern technology to help drill in areas most likely to contain fossil fuels with little to no impact on the surrounding environment. We must all remember that drilling for oil is no longer a guessing game, we have access to great technologies that allow us to actually see whats in the ground before any drilling actually occurs. that fact alone should in my mind ease the environmentalists concerns that they have concerning oil drilling....:stoned:

I would like to make it absolutely clear that I do in fact support the expansion of fossil fuel production on a domestic level, however, I only support these ideas in order for us as Americans to lead the world in the search for alternative renewable energy with zero emissions. I just think that we as a country were "caught with our pants down" when it comes to the energy crisis. We simply need to buy some time for our manufacturers to utilize their Rand D departments and come out with affordable options.........:stoned:

wow! talk about a stoned rant!!!:stoned:
