Also several studies on ANWR have estimated that there is 6 months worth of oil (at our current usage rates) there. 10 years wait, then 6 months of cheap oil, and then what?

The rogue element in our government are traitors and need to be executed for their crimes. A major part of our congressmen do not pay any attention to the constitution except it be what they want. One of the biggest breaches of the constitution they are committing is their refusal to regulate the value of money. They have left it up to the illegal Federal Reserve System and their illegal arm the collection agency called the IRS. Since December of 1913 we the people have been are being robbed by this illegal system. Nearly a hundred years. I don't know what their plans are for the oil, but you can bet it won't be for the good of the people. They are employed by the oil companies and their bribes, believe it. As for energy, the government is complicit in preventing the development of free energy. It already is here, the people need to wake up and get behind it. This free energy that I am talking about is able to be taped by the use of the electro-magnetic energy of the earth and the sun. It's there, it's free and systems are designed that work and the government and their methods are preventing it from being developed.

If you want to get energy from your coast, it would be far better to invest in offshore wind, ocean current turbines, wave power, or even tidal power.

'Ever' is a very very long time and I'm sure it was cleaner before we (humans) got here and started burning things.

Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, terrorists, everybody. We all use it and are hopelessly addicted to it. Why then is there the effort to make it a partisan issue. Try and live one day without oil. See what happens. Uh, last time I checked everyone in this country "loves" oil. Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, terrorists, everybody. We all use it and are hopelessly addicted to it.

Even the Europeans are drilling off their coast. There is no doubt that is it possible to both drill for oil and have a clean environment. The worse thing we can do is to throw the economy completely in the tank by delusional thinking that stopping production will suddenly make alternatives appear. Even worse, if you think the government will solve the problem, you're wrong.
