Bush's administration want's to drill for oil in the Alaska wildlife refuge. There was a study put out a couple of years ago that said if we did drill, there would only be a 2-3 month supply for drilling, so it's not worth it. Not only would we be drilling, but roads would have to be built into the refuge, of which there aren't many at present. He also backed America out of the Environmental emissions reduction world talks (I can't remember what it was called, it might have been the kyoto agreement, but I'm not sure.) If I did more research, I'm sure I could find more, but these are things that I've heard on the news, for everyone to hear.

Doesn't that oil that is being consumed by YOU and every person in America, have to come from somewhere? Is the global environment going to be hurt any less if that oil comes from the North Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico or the Middle East. Basically you have a not in my backyard mentality. You are still going to use just as much oil as you always did and you dont really care if the environment is damaged as long as it isn't the environment in your back yard.
