Well, that's kind of controversial. We need oil. It's a natural resource that human's use. As far as WHERE we get it, I think that going for oil in a nature reserve should be a last resort. ~t_dub~  |

you are wrong about how much oil is in Alaska... there is a crazy amount of oil there. And the U.S. will never drill oil there til we run all the oil out of the middle east... IMO  |

We have NOT "screwed" up the Alaskan wildlife. That was the fear when the Alaskan pipeline was first proposed, but it turns out the Caribu love the warmth of the pipeline and their population has risen. And, if we're not quite sure where the oil is, how do we know there is only 6 months worth of oil? Drilling can be done with minimal damage to the enviornment and I say lets go for it....Kelly  |

I think Pres Bush is a greedy money grubbing oil man, that could care less about what this earth is like for our future generations. It is said that we, at this time, have access to more oil than we could use in 1000 years. This is from many sources. And that is without drilling in Alaska, or buying from OPEC! Am I the only one who finds it strange that 1.) Bush wants to drill in Alaska (ah-hmmm, I wonder if he wants to drill in Alaska because the oil lobby put him in office...Duh!! 2.)All of a sudden gasoline prices are $1.60 to $2.00 per gallon and still going up....my, my, we better drill in Alaska to get prices down! 3.) THe price we pay per barrel from OPEC is DOWN!!! 4.) The public FINALLY noticed it was strange we are buying for less and selling for more 5.) Bush has countered with it is costing more to refine the oil, due to all the smog standards...That is quite a little hike, considering gas prices have gone up $.35 to $.50 in just 4 months. "Welcome to a great 4 years! The fun has just begun!" Excellent post!! Light and Love  |

Oil prices were going UP before Bush took office. Remember Clinton dipped into our oil reserves???...Kelly |

Everything started going up before Clinton left office. Everything but the stock market Things started changing last July/August when people really got scared because Clinton was going out of office, and the best financial/economic president we have had in years would begone. Then when the election was finally decided (if you will remember, in that never-never land time the republicans were saying stocks were going down because Gore was dilly-dallying and causing unease) the week Bush was declared winner the bottom fell out of the market, and it has been falling ever since!!!

I really don't think we should drill there. I remmeber in history class when we put Indians on a reservation, people discovered gold on their land, and it ended up starting a war over it. Now the only thing diffrent is it's "black gold" and it's animals instead of people.  |

The fact is that there are only 6 months of oil in the taritory that will be drilled and there will be irreversable damage to the ecosystem take it from an engineer...there will be plenty of heavy mettals and other toxins entrodused into a pristeen environment and it will be unpreventable...just as a function of drilling...there is less then 6 months of oil there Busch is doing this for his oil rich buddys (and his own turstfund which is full of oil stocks) just like he reniged on all the other envioonmental promises he made (arsnic and the kyoto accord on CO2) and both happen to help his oil buddys and himself...the addition of new crude oil sources will not reduse the price of oil at the pump...only demand side constriction(people buyng more fuel economical cars)or the construction of more oil refinerys will reduse price at the pump...and the oil companys will not build more refinerys becouse thay will make more money with high demand and low supply and high cost why invest 100million into building a refinery when it will earn you no more profit. The US is not dependant on oil from anywhere elce gas costs about .50 cents a galon (adding crude and labor to make it) 40 cents a gallon in tax (ballbark national tax and state avrage tax) the rest is proffet for the produisers the Aribs arent the enemy the corpret oil mongers are peace PatrickO |

Surely if there is that bad an oil shortage, Bush will find a reason to bomb Iraq and Iran, take those countries over, and voila! enough oil for everyone...  |

America will buy up all the oil from the OPEC nations first.Once they run out then the world will have to look at the USA for its oil needs.. |

Lightworker, the stockmarket has been ready for a plunge for a long time. The stocks were overpriced to begin with (think hollow dotcoms), even Alan Greenspan had been warning that things weren't as bright and rosy as everyone thought. Its sort of funny to think of the world falling apart within a week just because Clinton left office. I knew some people thought he was some sort of God, I just never believed it until now...Kelly |

I'm not going to post my opinion, becuase I am fully aware of the fact that whenever I do, there is a riot. No matter what the opinion is about, religion, politics, whatever, I get spammed, and you all get angry. However, I am going to verify that my facts are true. (The caribou are flourishing, but at too alarming of a rate and if we introduce a species to keep the population down, we'll mess up THAT species. Also: We know there are six months of oil there because we have scanned the region with a technology, the name eludes me at the moment, that can detect oil, but can be deflected by some kind of rocks or something. I'm not sure about the particulars, but they can indeed tell how much oil is there, but are not as reliable as to exact location.) And LightWorker is right, Bush was put in office partially by a supreme court bribe funded by big oil companies. And as for the thing about the economy... It seems like everything started falling apart when we started having this "descrepancy" regaurding the election. And Bush WILL bomb Iraq and Iran, it's just a matter of time (Read "World War Three, Read it Here first" at http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/usm99055.html for more information). ~OddMan |

Interesting post, however, i thin the answer is not oil, it is alternative fuels which this administration will strongly oppose. The Bush family is an oil family. The elite must protect their investments, and at the expense of anything else. Just my opinion Peace, Osiris |

The economy had already started it's rise before Clinton and had already started it's decline before the elections. It had to do with the baby boomers being at their most productive place in the workforce, not anything to do with who was/is president. But that's not what this post is about is it? I agree with Kelly and Dizzy Me about the oil. Jetamio  |

That's exactly what all republicans say. Personally I think we should leave our untouched wilderness just that. You know that if it weren't for oil billionares, an oil president, and a ridiculously biased supreme court, we'd already be well on our way to getting all of our powere from HYDROGEN FEUL CELLS. It's the best idea since rubbing rocks to get fire. Think of it: Why drill fro oil that we don't need? Why buy from evil dictators who are not viable rulers of a country, I mean both Saddam Hussein and Bush to a slightly lesser extent, when we do not need to buy it? Oil is a thing of the past. It IS NOT nesscesarry(I can never spell that correctly)! If it were not for closed minded conservatives, I'd have a hydrogen powered car, home, computer, MP3 player, refrigerator, et cetra. It poweres anything and everything, and it's only waste products are water and oxygen. Can anyone give me a good reason why this is a bad idea? |

The idea has not gone unnoticed, unfortunately at this time hydrogen fuel cells are not economically competitive. ethanol is a more logical alternative at this point. However, oil, coal and natural gas remain economically the least expensive sources of fuel, Nuclear is an economically viable alternative if it was not for the anti-nuclear wackos. Hugo |
