ABC News: House OKs Oil Drilling in Alaska Refuge
WASHINGTON May 25, 2006 (AP)— Citing the public outcry over $3-a-gallon gasoline and America's heavy reliance on foreign oil, the House on Thursday voted to open an Alaska wildlife refuge to oil drilling, knowing the prospects for Senate approval were slim.
Drilling proponents argued that the refuge on Alaska's North Slope would provide 1 million barrels a day of additional domestic oil at peak production and reduce the need for imports...
Way to go morons! The answer is to get off oil altogether, not fucking drill for it in our national parks! Cars that run on diesel can easily be converted to run on cooking oil. But oh no, the oil companies have their vested interest and will squash any attempt to get off oil. Why? Because vegetable/cooking oil is free. If everyone fueled their cars with that, it'd put the oil companies out of business and the politicians like Bush would lose their biggest financial supporters.
