Whats so dumb about the truthIJ Minimum of 10 years before that oil hits the market. There is a new refinery going up on the Ca_AZ border but be a few years before thats up and running. Maybe the oil will go thereIJ. lets hope something gets done about the mess the country is in. CJ

And just who in the hell was keeping tabs 420,000 years agoIJIJIJ We can't even get an accurate 7 day forecast, let alone figuring what will be in 100 or 1000 years weatherwise. liberalism, communism, socialism, the big media, and the democrapic party are soon to be extinct!! YeeeeeeeHA

So you think there isn't enough oil in Anwar to make any differenceIJ The people of Alaska just want to kill off some wildlifeIJ The oil companies just want to poke some holesIJ like I said "dumb"

Don't forget Fox News... I can't stand the liberal bias of that channel. They're way over the edge.

No there isn't enough oil to make much difference. Right now Alaskan oil production is from roughly 908,000 barrels of oil a day. At best it could raise to 1.1 million barrels a day but in 2025. In reality it will only raise it to 1 million. Yes that extra oil is nice but it is not the real reason behind drilling in Alaska. The drilling companys know that if they can push this through congress it will be the gateway bill to drilling in any national refuge they want. This is a trojan horse getting rolled through Washington and without these so called "tree-huggers" and other democrats it would already be happening. The best thing to do would be to get off our reliance on fossil fuels because its a fact that they wont last. The represenitvies in Washington know this, why they dont do anything is beyond me. Either they're scared to stand up to Bush and his policys or someone is passing them money under the table.

We do need to reduce our dependence on forein oil but putting major reserves off limits is not the answer. President Clinton put a big chunk of Utah off limits.The cleanest burning coal the US has plus billions of cubic feet of natural gas.IMO just plain dumb.

 

[Case_Farmer]

Yeah but the US is going to destroy the world Us and us alone lol I love how we have all these wacko's going on and on about how crappy of a job we do with ozone and animal rights Yet other countries are so far behind you understand why they are referd to as 3rd world But hey were americans so it's all our fault.

rob, since you seem to be up on your numbersIJ give us the facts on how much they UNDER-estimated the oil reserves of Prudhoe BayIJ Who's to say this will be no differentIJ big oil is global, and it has a strangle hold on all the political leaders. they are not gonna let go without a fight as profits are soaring in that industry. why would they be inclined to build new refineriesIJ it's the lack of refined supply that is driving the price today. there is no lack crude supply as it is higher now than ever before and adds each year. so as you mentioned, no matter how much raw crude is brought into the market, it will not drop the cost but so much. alternate sources are the way, soy, wheat, barley, potato and corn should be where 110% of the efforts in reducing fossil fuels be aimed! they are easily renewable, cleaner and the industry is already in place though not at the scale needed but the plans have been laid. with the ag sector being such a large industry already, the surge such a replacement fuel could offer would probably pay back tenfold if this where the direction politicians chose to push. but, money talks and lot's of backs are always itchy!
