Should we be drilling there?

The reason I ask is that in the wake of Katrina and Rita, the Republican have renewed their efforts for oil exploration in this part of the world.

Do you agree with this? Disagree? Don't care?

Let me know what you think.

since it is a wildlife refuge I have 2 disagree, there would b other places 2 get oil from, instead of an animal refuge, and the animals in the refuge would/will b suffering

Nothing makes me madder. Main reason, they can't really vouch for more oil than can run the U.S. for 6-8 months. It's not worth ripping up one of the last untouched wild areas. It's public land, and they shouldn't be able to ruin it for all posterity!

That point is one that the news doesn't really mention. There is not a whole lot of oil up there, and the cost I believe out weighs the benfits. Yet the Rep's still push for drilling up there, but do nothing that would involve conservation and research and development of new energy sources. It seems that it is oil or nothing with them.
