Senate Set To Consider Energy Package That Includes Drilling In ANWR, Off Gulf Coast

And some are claiming that the additional oil from this domestic pumping could lower oil prices by as much as $63/barrel.

I’m not sure I buy into that estimate, but I certainly think it’s going to be hard for the politicians to argue against the expansion of oil production in the face of high - and getting higher - fuel prices.  Americans aren’t dumb, and there’s only so long that the “greedy oil companies” schtick is going to work.  Eventually people will wake up and realize that the biggest expense at the pump isn’t gasoline but government.

Oil is a natural resourse and and it is in the ground for a reason and that is for the betterment of mankind..Oil has given the world the greatest life possible from Nigeria to the US and everywhere else.

If we do not use the resourses such as oil and coal to feed, cloth and house the world we are not doing the right thing.  We can drill safely, and the world knows it.

It reminds me of someone given many talents and does not use them..it is a waste!

Drill and make life better!

The Liberals will never let us do it unless they attach this to a bill that gives money away to some other special interest.
