I didnt take the time to watch the video- I can read much faster than I can listen to an old man talk. What I did hear about having more oil in AK than in the entire middle east is old news. We just have too much red tape to go through to get to it. My aunt, who is a near-radical environazi, says she read in National Geographic:-laf about the Alaska pipeline leaking now, and the oil companies not wanting to clean it up. The only problem i see with that thinking is that spilled oil is lost revenue, so it makes sense they'd want to recover that.
I agree with keeping the earth clean and not stripping the entire Rocky Mountain range of all its trees, but we also need to maintain the standard of living to which we have become accustomed. I see no reason to live in sod huts, till the earth with a shovel, and ride mules or walk everywhere- when we have the means to cleanly live much better. I also see no reason for our CTD Rams to see MPG figures in the mid to upper 20s, but that is another topic for another thread.
