President Bush advocates opening the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration
 

President Bush advocated opening the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil exploration during his news conference today. Senator Charles Schumer responded afterward that such a move will do nothing to alleviate high gasoline prices, as it will take ten years before new oil could be produced and then only reduce the price of gas by a penny a gallon. President Bush also chided the congress for blocking efforts to reduce electricity prices in the country by expanding clean, safe nuclear power production.

I care for our wildlife. I want the endangered species protected and
to stop oil exploration. Find another way to solve our problem of
energy.


Posted by Clint on 4/29/2008 7:13:32 PM
I am for oil exploratio***n Alaska what do you expect to do pay $
10.00 for a gallon of gas.


Posted by Mike on 4/29/2008 7:08:02 PM
I always hear that the government has invested taxpaying monies into
energy technology and research. Where is it ? Why do we not implement
it, its about time to start doing it.


Posted by Finn on 4/29/2008 7:05:41 PM
I wish that we all had solar powered homes across america. Then we
would have a cleaner world.


Posted by Katie on 4/29/2008 7:03:47 PM
We need to protect our wildlife and turn to alternative energies.
More wind, More Sun, More ethanol.


Posted by Alex on 4/29/2008 7:02:04 PM
We are always risking our wildlife and environment with oil
exploration and developin*** This needs to change.


Posted by carl on 4/29/2008 6:40:33 PM
i like the idea of exploring just in case it comes down to it. What I
do not like is ruining the environment so strict measures to
safeguard the wildlife have to go in place first.


Posted by Bill on 4/29/2008 6:36:10 PM
There is all kinds of green technology to use start o***t.


Posted by Jim on 4/29/2008 6:35:38 PM
With oil prices jumping on the pumps people need to conserve our
resources and think smartly. Not enough of that going around.


Posted by Kevin on 4/29/2008 6:33:18 PM
I am for the oil but what happens when the Alaska oil is used up.
What do we do next. Supposely Saudi Arabia will go bone dry in 30
years.


Posted by Anthony on 4/29/2008 6:30:23 PM
Stop developing the oil in Alaska and start using the energy
technology that is clean and friendly.


Posted by Mike on 4/29/2008 6:28:25 PM
I do not want to see oil exploration take place.


Posted by Time for the good guys. on 4/29/2008 6:13:10 PM
What a wimp, where will that get us in the long ru*** Why didn't he
get something done to stop this run away inflation when he had
control of Congress?


Posted by Arthur Martin on 4/29/2008 6:03:14 PM
Why would you do thats i mean you are just making people spend more
and more money and thats not right because lots of people are trying
to make endz meat as it is so can you please dont open up the Alaska
National Wildfire Reuge


Posted by Hal on 4/29/2008 4:32:56 PM
If we do not drill for oil then we are under the contol of OPEC and
that is not a reaosnable thing to do.


Posted by Jerrod on 4/29/2008 4:23:47 PM
Drilling in the wildlife refuge would only help Bush's friends in the
oil industry. It wouldn't make a dent in gas prices.


Posted by Jasper on 4/29/2008 4:22:36 PM
Americans should revisit nuclear power production before drilling in
the Alaska wildlife refuge. With proper regulation and inspections,
nuclear power can be safe. There have been a lot of improvements
since Three Mile Island.


Posted by Charlotte on 4/29/2008 4:20:38 PM
This is a very bad idea. Has he forgotten about the British Patroleum
mess last year? You cannot ensure that the oil companies will not
harm the environment and the wildlife.
