Doesn't it make sense to drill, save billions, help reduce these insane gas prices, while advancing into studies for less dependency on oil?
Does it? | The oil we recieve from the Alaskan oil reserves is only supposed to fuel all the cars in DC and Philly for one day. Hardly significant if you ask me.
I'm surprised they're making such a huge fuss about drilling in Alaska instead of encouraging the American people to carpool, use public transportation or save fuel by avoiding total dependancy on their personal vehicle.
But a I guess the Administration would rather do their buddies in the oil industry a favor and boost our economic power rather than give people information about how to conserve.
This is another thing that pisses me off about Americans, we seem to forget the past very quickly and we only think ahead about two or three years. Gives a whole new meaning to "living for today".
But if people could only live for today in regards to the future, we might not have a crisis on our hands.
Here's an excersize: Ride your bike to work on Mondays and Wednesdays, carpool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since most people do their grocery shopping on weekends anyways, it all works out! This can be configured to fit any anverage Joe's schedule (unless you drive 10 miles to work everyday).
Hell, I'm 17 and I ride my bike 3 miles to school every day--AND I'm vegetarian (vegan on Wednesdays and Fridays)! If I can do this, any American can. | Many people travel far to work and need a car especially when it gets very cold outside. We need to dig in Alaska and get the oil to help our economy think of the people before the wildlife, especially since there is very little out there.
***The oil we recieve from the Alaskan oil reserves is only supposed to fuel all the cars in DC and Philly for one day. Hardly significant if you ask me.***
This statement right here is far from the truth, this was made up by a bunch of enviromentalist wakkos to try to save the little wildlife that is left in Alaska do not be fooled by these false comments that cannot be backed up by any facts, we must dig in Alaska. |
With oil from the refuge, the agency's models indicate the United States would import oil to meet 65 percent of its needs in 2025 vs. 68 percent without it.
We MUST NOT dig in Alaska. You are being brainwashed by a dangerous regime. |
