The Truth abou ANWR.

[Megalomaniac]

I want to know what the goal is, or problem to be fixed, in order to think about potential considerations.

For this issue, whatever it is, I'd first say, lets envison Alaska didn't exist, what would our course of action be?

are you trying to get me to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairly again?

LOL, I don't think we need to pretend it doesn't exist because it does. I live in Asia and let me tell you all these nations are trying to cramp our lifestyle and they have the means to do it. I could go on and on about how their economies are pulling us down or will be soon. One close to my heart is Macau, that place will be placing more bets a day then Vegas in the next 24 months.
A lot of environmental driven people don't take economy into consideration. Without the leading economy we are not the leader in anything. Without the leading economy we loose our voice, without our leading voice all the environmental goals will be pushed aside. Economics is the key here, not environment.

I understand we exist in a competative global economy, I think there are other ways to address our own nation's competativeness that doesn't include drilling for oil!

How about better education? new ways to increase productivity?

What is the goal? To reduce the cost per gallon of gasoline?

Are you still not answering questions? Our immediate goal is to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Pretending Alaska doesn't exist is just a foolish flight of fancy. Let's stay firmly within the realm of reality here.

Hey Mega did you get my email? I just got my cable and internet fixed and a lot of my emails didn't go through. I have gear questions and wondering about what your armorer said about other optics. Got a chance to shoot the ACOG I showed you on my same rifle and I love it, seriously impressed and now understand the price. I have other questions about stocks and lights and flash hiders. Waiting for my Daniel Defense Omega rail to arrive now.

if the goal is to reduce dependence on foreign oil, i'd say lets reduce consumption! there are many ways to do this. None of them happen overnight, but neither does large scale drilling projects and refinement.

I only bring up the idea of "pretending" that alaska didn't exist to get people to think outside the box.

No I only got the one email from you. Hit me up again, I never got your addy.(well I did like 6 months ago but don't know where it is)


ANWR needs to be drilled, alt resources need to be found(govt rewarded research), education system needs to be fixed and focused on engineering(govt needs to push this but not regulate) and society needs to be taught it isn't the same selfish world anymore.

There I fixed the problem, wasn't hard, vote for me.

What?

 

[Lestat]

What?

that doesn't tell me the scale of the project, only the area to be drilled. What is the time to setup, drill, transport, etc. I asumme its going to take months if not years.
