Yes. The answer is just because they have a lease, that doesn't mean ther ie oil there. ANWR and the coasts, not to mention shale oil from the Rockies are PROVEN reserves. There is no time or money wasted on 'dry holes'. Production can begin in months, not years.

Anyone who is against drilling because of environmental concerns show me one place on Earth that has been damaged due to 'oil spills' in the past 30 years. The Middle East is covered in wells with drilling going on continuosly. Any major problems there? And who has more restrictions and safety rules and regs than the good ole USA? NOBODY. The worst disaster in recent history was due to a drunk captain running his ship aground, yet there are super tankers all over the globe.

For 30+ years we have been hearing the same things from our 'political leaders'. How we must become energy independent. We must develop alternative fuels. Yada Yada! Today I read about two companies who want to proceed with solar power technology but are facing two years of government red tape. Gimme a break.

This country put a man on the moon in less than 9 years after the decision was made to do so. I will never beleive that there is not a better way to power our automobiles than fossill fuels. And even if there isn't already, that there couldn't be in a VERY FEW YEARS.
