btw: oil is NOT the future, renewable energy is, because as dumb as all of you are you obviously know that oil is not renewable.

[ROBBEDBYBIGOIL]

We can make oil we have been making oil for years we dont need to drill for it when we can make it

we need to use all the altenatives

[lindaclements]

you're right - ALL

INCLUDING drilling for oil !!!!

[josuha2006]

I live on solar and wind..

It's expensive..it's not anywhere near the power you get from the grid and most people can't afford it.

The appliance to run off of 'renewable energy' is expensive.

Do I like it?

Yes.

But to 'dream' about this country running on solar, wind, hydro etc alone is ludicrous unless you want everyone to go to a third world standard of living.

Renewablt energy is a suppliment to power, not a silver bullet.

[PotionsGirl]

hundreds of thousands of gallons have been spilled in prudhoe bay. There is no excuse for that and no matter how high gas prices get, nothing will ever make up for that. Our Earth is priceless.

btw: places are protected FOR A REASON. just because you are resident of Alaska and are willing to destroy your state's naturual beaut - doesn't make you right.

[kurtscash]

You are to ignorant to realize, as our the "tax happy" that no they don't stop hiring tax paying workers, what they do is hire lobbyists to create loopholes and if they can't get one, they just pass the expense on top of the cost of a product or service.

I mean really, ask yourself the Reagan question - are you better off than you were 4 or 8 years ago??? No 98% are not.

[onlyoneak]

I forgot, Clinton vetoed ANWR in 19994, the house and senate 'passed" it! it would be producing oil now. Remember, these same anti oil libs said Prudhoe bay would only produce about 1 yrs supply! Guess what? It,s still going strong! The same environmentalists are saying the same thing about ANWR! It is so frustrating to most of us longtime Alaskans, who have heard the same old stuff from these tree huggers1 Most are from big citys, that have no pristine land left! How ironic! AK has plenty!!!

[onlyoneak]

I live here in Alaska. We up here are just amazed how ignorant people are who are against drilling in ANWr. Remember, the same things were said about Prudhoe bay,over 30 yrs ago. Guess what? It,s still pumping oil! The largest field in North America! The caribou pop has increased,etc... AnWR is right next door! It is "19 million" acres!!! Only approx '10,000" acres would be developed! Most against it, have never been there,and have no clue how it is up here in Alaska in general!

[lindaclements]

I agree 100%

I just have one issue....

The eco-nazis are not ignorant

They know exactly what they're doing

They're systematically taking us back to the dark ages. And they will stop at nothing until they accomplish that goal.

Oh yeah, and of course the redistribution of wealth. They are too ignorant to understand that when you tax the wealthy, they hold their money and stop hiring tax payers, thus crushing the economy. So I guess you're right.

THEY ARE IGNORANT !!! :-D

[kurtscash]

Eco-Nazis have taken the air in LosAngeles and the SanFernando Valley,which used to have smog alerts daily in the summer to zero this year. If thats taking us back to the dark ages so be it... but in reality its bringing us into a sustainable future. If they wanted to go stoneAge why would they need to redistribute the wealth. Besides if they go to far back, the Republicans have most of the guns so they'd loose that game (me being the exception to the rule, I'm a gun nut Democrat!!).

[Chslosers]

The democrats are controlling the house like the 40 years pre 1994. Its just a conspiracy.. once Obama is voted into Presidency the house and congress will completely comply and Obama will be given credit for offshore drilling. The mindless americans that support Obama will see..

[lindaclements]

USE PROFANITY

GET DELETED !

[tombstonetom]

This recession can be blamed on the Bush administration. They refused to regulate key industries such as oil, morgage companies, and their nonbid contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now gas is over $4.00, the world is facing a morgage crisis and American soldiers are dying in their showers. Bush was warned about all this years ago and decided to stay the course. Patriotic Americans should be outraged by this incompetence, arrogance and greed. America belong to America, not GWB and cronies.

[lindaclements]

there is only ONE reason for high oil prices

Nancy Pelosi and the libs in congress refusing to supply our OWN oil and forcing us to depend on foreign oil

NO OTHER REASON

[tombstonetom]

Only one reason? Only one reason you are willing to except. Are you willing to except solutions? You want Domestic oil? You can pump CO2 under the oil shale in colorado Wyomin and utah and get 110 yrs of oil suppy. Anwar will give us a six month suppy. Alaska too far? Canada is pulling oil form tarsand at a cost point of $70 a barrel. Want something cheap try LNG Cost $.70 a gallon.

[dntpokdabear]

Check again Tombstonetom, Busch inherited a recession from Clinton; in spite of 911 he was able to turn it around. 2 yrs ago Pelosi and Dems promised lower fuel prices and across the isle -- fair debate, she/they have done the opposite. This month in Iraq has been the most positive on record and we have not been attacked since then. The arrogance of Pelosi and Reed is off the map.

[lindaclements]

Yeah

She promised "I have a plan"

well I guess her plan was to leave for vacation without addressing the drilling issue and leaving the poorest of the poor with no way to pay for their gas.

Bush MENTIONING drilling pulled prices down

Can't WAIT to see what happens once we actually start DOING it.

But first we need to get rid of the Democrats in congress who continually vote to KEEP US DEPENDENT ON FOREIGH OIL - THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA !!!! BUT THEY FLY HOME ON THEIR LEAR JETS !!!!

[AmericanYokel]

Don't forget that Nancy Pelosi has over $100,000 invested in T. Boone Pickens' wind energy plan, a clear conflict of interest for her politically.

[JJW101023]

We have a HUGE oil field under the Dakotas that isn't in a protected area. It's not necessary to drill in a PROTECTED AREA in Alaska. That's why people oppose it. Why even have protected areas and National Parks in the first place?

ALASKA IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE IN THE USA WITH OIL. It has nothing to do with polar bears or any of that crap.

The more discerning individuals here should look up HAARP. It needs a power source. That's why they want to drill in Alaska specifically.

[lindaclements]

The head of one of Florida's top conservationist organization was interviewed on 970WFLA last week. He took an entourage to Alaska to see for himself. He said that tiny area was desolate. He also said they they went to Prudhome Bay where drilling is going on and the predicted threat to the caribou proved to be in error. They've multiplied exponentially. DO IT FOR THE ANIMALS !!!!

:-D

[dntpokdabear]

There has been a consistent increase in Polar Bear numbers for the last 30 years. The Governor of Alaska has filed suit to reverse the decision to place these animals on the endangered species list, it has been done to stop progress for our independence from foreign fuels. The small area we need to drill is hardly habitable by neither man nor beast.

[RobertGary1]

Let's have optional liberal taxes at the pump. Let the libs pay for all their crap right there. Oh, that wouldn't work because they can't do their deads with their money, they need *YOUR** money.

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

75% blame our fuehrer policies for deteriorating economy .. $1B/day for nation building in iraq is causing gasoline prices to soar .. and the oil lobbyists rushie neocons insist that the war must continue for at least another hundred years .. by then gasoline should be at least $2,000/gal .. the rushie neocons believe the way to clean energy is to get more oil and coal and nuclear power ... but nuclear requires sooo much oil & coal to make its fuel rods ... it's win/win .. don't be a bush basher

[oaklynlen]

there are 5 ways we could lower gas prices without sacrificing the environment. 1. carpool. 2. get the govt to spend money on mass transit. 3. get the govt to expand amtrak to 48 states and call it the national rail system. 4. get the govt to persuade detroit to increase gas mileage in new cars. and 5. bring back the 55 mile an hour speed limit.

[lindaclements]

You left out the most important one....

DRILL HERE DRILL NOW

and the speculators will force lower prices

P E R I O D !!!!

[RobertGary1]

Why is it that of your 5 days to lower gas prices 4 are the gov't? Its the gov't that screwed up the fuel markets. The gov't needs to get out of the business of second guessing everything and controlling everything in sight.

[JMF2479]

sacrificing the envirnonment... it's not real. 31,000 SCIENTIST disagree with gobal warming. and hundreds of dems believe it(not scientist.) You want to double your mpg(miles per gallon) look into water for fuel. Seperate the molecules and you can get great mpgs! youtube it hydrogen generators.

[lindaclements]

The Enviro-Nazis want us to go back to the stone age, so they have their bed partners (Dems in Congress) do their bidding and vote against any drilling ANYWHERE in the U.S.

Yes we need alternative forms of energy and we CAN and ARE going after those, but in the meantime we MUST DRILL HERE DRILL NOW FOR CHEAP GAS !!!

[arubberball]

DRILL,DRILL,DRILL do you get my point,DRILL,DRILL NOW! I don't care where, just DRILL! I'll drill through a polar bears head to get OIL!

[arubberball]

Dead on Rush, drill now, drill here, and the hell with Washington!

[assoonas1]

people are losing jobs everywhere!!! Drill for the damn oil, increase MPG to 40.

Drill, Drill, Drill

[sssstaker]

DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW!

[fingerman1234]

Well said Rush
