Why (tm) aren't we drilling in ANWR?
Last week, I saw that the U.S. Senate passed a bill to stop purchasing oil for the national reserve. It got me thinking -- reducing demand is one thing, but what about increasing the supply of oil?
Why (tm) aren't we drilling for oil in ANWR and off the coasts of America?
As we learn from Ockham's Trilogy (Fame/Fraud Matrix, Page 134), the question "Who benefits?" must be asked first.
Who benefits from the United States of America not drilling in ANWR or off the coast of Florida?
How about OPEC? Yes.
Venezuela? Yes.
Russia? Absolutely.
The Sierra Club? Yes.
Corn Growers, and other farmers growing crops for ethanol conversion? Yes.
The typical shlub sitting in the cubicle next to you, who turns away from the pump as he fills his car with his gas because he doesn't want to see the price he's paying? No.

Back in the 1970's with Jimmy Carter (who still rightfully gets no respect) and the general public first being aware of environmentalism, I could understand keeping the area federally protected from drilling.
Fast forward to 2008... and you have got to be kidding me.
This has "Who benefits?" written all over it. I'm glad you posted about this.
