#4 My backyard is ecologically rich, can we drill there? Away from the shrine area of course.

ecologically rich Alaska wildlife refuge

Not the part that will be drilled; that looks like a moonscape.

Of course, in a few years, once the pipeline is in, the area will be more "ecologically rich" than it was before, as the caribou and other arctic animals move in to live around the pipeline's warmth, just as they have around the original pipeline.

Whatever "journalist" wrote this is either lazy, a propagandist for the far left, or a lying sack of shit. But I repeat myself.

Oh, by the way - I'll have my caribou rare with plenty of garlic, skip the steak sauce. Take that, PETA!

#9 Followed a link from LGF on this topic to the Koz Kidz and the panic was wonderful.

I also found what might be the most extreme example of ego-centrism in the entire world...

"...but what this particular drilling rider is really about is being a big ole' F-YOU to us, from them, with love, just because they can."

In other words the whole purpose of the Repubs in the senate is to piss off the kiddies.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

#10 "We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact..."

Well, perhaps if you and your kind haven't blocked this for a decade with this same stupid argument we would already be seeing the benefits from it, you ignorant slut.

#11 do a Caribou census now, so when the lefty liars spin this in 10 years, there will be proof the population hasn't declined

#18 Wine with game...I'd go with a Zinfandel or good Pinot. But then, they go good with anything - even corn flakes.

#19 "We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact," argued Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash
So my representative finally admits what we have known about her all along: she is a short-sighted Democratic snatch.
Funny how they rant and rave about the necessity of more pollution controls and environmental regulation for the future, but when it comes to having energy or food on the table a few years down the line--it's something we can do without. What a strange mentality.

I had a discussion yesterday with a local surveyor who objected to the pipeline on the grounds that it would (intentionally) be built so low to the ground that elk and caribou wouldn't be able to get under it, thereby disrupting migrations and causing them all to die. It apparently didn't cross his mind that it would be silly for maintenance vehicles to have to drive hundreds and hundreds of miles down the pipeline to get to the other side to do routine inspection and maintenance, which isn't the case anyhow. If you can get a dumptruck under the pipeline, I'm damned certain you can get an elk under it.

#20 Had Reindeer sausage with eggs for breakfast every day for a week when I was last up at the Hotel Captain Cook! Was seriously great! Didn't have any sauce at breakfast, but we washed it down with peppermint schnapps at the ski course.

#21 Asedwich - The Captain Cook in Anchorage? I stayed there for 3 weeks in '79... Still have the 5-egg King Crab Omelet for $15? Lol! Did you ski at Alyeska? Do you have to go up over Turnagain Pass to get to it? I was there on biz - back in the pipeline daze - and my memory is of 20 hour days and sleeping on an office floor about half the time I was there, heh.

#22 As an Alaskan for the past 15 years, it's about dang time. The piece of ANWR they propse drilling represents less than 1% of the entire refuge. The total BS vomited by the dimocratic propaganda machine is incredible.

Currently the Porcipine Caribou herd (that migrates east-west through the Alyeska pipeline) is at an all-time high number. Truth-bells should go off in the heads of all but the criminally insane LLL-dimocrats.

The actual footprint of the drill/pumping sites will likely be measured in hundreds of acres in that postage stamp sized portion of ANWR where they will drill.

As for 8-20 billion barrels of recoverable ...Prudhoe Bay/North Slope was only thought to have a tad less than 10 billion recoverable when they drilled in the 70s. More than 14 billion barrels (nearly 550 billion gallons)have moved through the Pipeline System since start. The volume of oil flowing through the pipeline has decreased from a peak of 2.1 million barrels per day in 1988 to about 1 mbpd today. That still represents 20% of domestic oil production in the US.

#23 Ate caribou three years ago and loved it. My brother and I thought that might be enough to get us to leave Europe for good. I've done it, still waiting for him...

#25 Caribou is tasty. My son got three this fall in NW alaska. Brought me some good meat, heart, and tongue. Good stuff. Lived off of caribou meat for 20 years. PETA all the way, heh!
