Could this be More Propaganda to Propel ANWR into the Budget?

With the GOP poised to insert drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into the budget next Wednesday, could this story from AP be propaganda to support that measure? We've seen ample evidence that the MSM supports the Pravda like spin of the GOP. I personally question the timely insert of this story into the news, as it supports the GOP's position.

Official: OPEC Has Reached Output Limit

ALGIERS, Algeria – OPEC has reached its production limit, and trying to stretch output by one million barrels per day isn't likely to lower oil prices, Algeria's minister for energy and mines said.

Now junior will say anyone who doesn't vote for his bill because it includes drilling ANWAR is anti-conservation.

IEA: world must turn away from oil

The rapid rise in global oil demand should lead the industrialised world to promote alternatives to oil as well as energy conservation, the International Energy Agency said on Friday.

The warning, from the West's energy policy adviser, signals a sharp turnaround by the IEA, which has previously tried to cool oil markets by blaming prices on speculators and short-term supply disruptions.

“The reality is that oil consumption has caught up with installed crude and refining capacity,” the Paris-based agency said. “If supply continues to struggle to keep up, more policy attention may come to be directed at oil demand intensity in our economies and alternatives.” The agency's view carries special weight because it was created in the mid-1970s after the Arab oil embargo to advise consuming governments about energy security and how to conserve oil so as to protect their economies from fluctuations in its price.

The IEA's emphasis on energy efficiency was endorsed by President George W. Bush, who on Friday said conservation was a key part of his proposed energy bill.
