"Alaskans support ANWR!!" Here's my response to that
Advertisements [?]
So what are you going to do 20 years from now when it's all gone?

20 years is a long time but hardly constitutes long term thinking. This is according to DOE ANWR has approximately 10 billion barrels of proven reserves (that's if they are telling the truth) which means our depedency on foreign would be reduced by about THREE PERCENT.

Again that is THREE (3) PERCENT over the course of 20 years.

You know what I don't buy it and I call bullshit on the notion that the majority of Alaskans are in favor of this.

No offense but if it's true and the people of Alaska overwhelmingly support the notion of killing off animals and worse advocating the continuing policy of ignoring the fact that a REAL solution to our energy crisis must be found then sorry you know what you're demanding to be propped up by revenues which come from CROOKED interests whose interests HARM you and America overall.

Find a way to another state if you're so deperate that you believe you must suck the teat of a CROOKED and DANGEROUS practice in order to feed your families.
