Quick show of hands here: Who thinks the Oil companies are stupid?
Morally bankrupt yes, stupid no.
If they did not know there was 10 billion or so barrels of oil under ANWR do you think they’d have spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying congress to allow them access?
But maybe the best way to preserve ANWR and fight global warming is that we drill there.
When I say "we" however I am referring to "we the people" not we the corporate interests buying and selling our political leaders.
I mean "we the people" as in the federally owned the Army Corp of Engineers and Department of Energy which runs the SPR Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Before I continue any further, let me state that ANWR’s value as a national environmental treasure is priceless& Anything done inside ANWR should be done with priority one being the preservation native species.
How can drilling in ANWR can be a net environmental positive?
below the fold.
