ANWR revision passed
Warning - Completely opinion based post below.
In one of the final acts of Congress before the session ends for this Holiday season, the house passed the defense spending bill which includes funding for Katrina, avian flu, and drilling in Alaska.
I would defer all to mergenow's post on the (non) benefits of opening up the ANWR for drilling in order to get a real appreciation for the actual import benefit this will produce. To put it mildly - NONE! One of Chimpy's initial goals since he was illegally awarded the presidancy was to open up ANWR - not for good of our economy but so his cronies can begin moving equipment and receiving the billions in contract work that will be involved.
Now I am not so much of an environmentalist when a greater good can become of disturbing the ecosystem. To me opening ANWR is not for the greater good but for the good of few. The money and resources going to be spent on this initiative can be used for research in ethanol and other sources of energy but that would mean revenue to big oil being lost. We all saw how they gouged us after Katrina but managed to makes billions upon billions.
Anyone who believes that BushCo does anything for the good of country and people has got to be completely blind.
