McCain talks about drilling in ANWR

[ceez001]

ANWAR - is where birds fly from tips of Argentina and birds live there even during winter. Caribou migrate there to born babies. Only an indigenous and envinronmentally sound people understand this it seems.

The spot that they are drilling on is just a gigantic slab of dirty ice with no vegetation and barely any animal population. For crying out loud its not like they are drilling in the middle of a forest.

[rchelifreak]

I think they should drill for oil up McCain's ass!

[Squallleonheartfan]

LAWL!

[rosieisahippo]

[rosieisahippo]

We invaded a country full of oil and spend billions securing it! There is no oil shortage. Oil companies weren't smart enough to realize current demand so they didn't build enough refineries. Can we be so gullible?

If they drill on our reserves and off our shores we need a guarantee that we will pay under $1 a gallon at the pumps or it shouldn't be allowed. Our land our oil our terms don't let government give up what belongs to us. We're getting manipulated in giving up something for nothing!

Evil Republican McCain once again calls for domestic drilling. And once again the democrats are saying the same thing they did in 1996 when president Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWR. "Well... even if we made the decision to start drilling, it would take 10 years to realize any benefit.

[claudius1964]

ok... so who's hording oil in this country... come on... spill the beans.

[SaMeJ28]

Hmm.. I don't understand why you're fighting to open ANWR... You said yourself that there's 36 Billion barrels there... but the US oil consumption is 20 million/per day. At that rate, those reserves would be deplete in only 5 years. ...Then what?

[DimeLivesInUs]

5 years is enough to research cleaner, efficient, and abundant fuels. Actually, if we used ANWR oil on a 4.3Billion barrel estimate to replace all oil we get from Saudi Arabia, it would last us 8.9 years.

Right on Dude! only 20 and full of common sense and love great music. An intelligent Metal head! or a as I call them and myself a RockinRepublican!

It may not be a large area but it is a micro climate of biodiversity. Very important to protect. Most of Alaska is mountains where no to little life can life. ANWR is a thriving ecosystem that future generations should have the right to knowing something that wild is still in tact.

[DimeLivesInUs]

Not very many people go to ANWR, what's the point in keeping it beautiful for animals and super rich people?

[Joelomite]

I'm voting McCain over Obama, but hearing this really frustrates me. McCain and others don't realize that the drillig space in ANWR takes up only 2000 acres, and Alaska is millions of acres. It's just a blip on the radar. We have a HUGE abundance of untapped oil in places like: the Dakotas, coast of California, Gulf of Mexico, off the Florida Keys, Virgina to name a few. China's allowed to drill here, but it's illegal for us to drill in our own backyard??? It's time to change the rules.

[gsuitter]

Obama and McCain are pretty much bed buddies on this issue as they are on many issues.

For common sense policies please check out Libertarian candidate Bob Barr. He may not win but a vote for Barr will tell the establishment, left and right, we're not going to take it any more.

[Dblitzen]

Why didn't they do this 10 years ago?????

[ktkof04]

because democrats said that it wouldnt create any oil for ten years so it wouldnt matter.... oh wait that would be a little helpful now wouldnt it? ... why yes it would.

[overpaidrockstar1]

Mccain is insane

[nigglefritz]

Last week the Department of Energy released its report on drilling in ANWR. It says it would take 10 years to bring the oil online, AND it would reduce the price of crude by $0.75 per barrel. With a barrel selling for $133 today, that isn't worth it. Not even close. We need alternatives to petroleum based energy.

Also, just same NO to McW in 2008! We don't want more of Bush's failed policies!

Way to go M! Chris and Heather

The girl asking the question is Emily Bowers. I am pretty proud of her, since I am her father.
