Rep Power: 7 | | | Administration Rejects Regulating Greenhouse Gases Quote:
The Bush administration on Friday rejected regulating greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, saying it would damage the U.S. economy and cause too many job losses.
In a 588-page federal notice, the Environmental Protection Agency made no finding on whether global warming poses a threat to people's health, reversing an earlier conclusion at the insistence of the White House and officially kicking any decision on a solution to the next president and Congress.

We should both Drill and go after alternatives, just imaging how many jobs that will create. |

Again, read the report. Drilling in ANWR serves no useful purpose at all, on its own or in conjunction with other efforts. So why does the right insist on focusing on something that only exists as a symbolic battle and instead of actually working on things that ARE useful?

ANWR is the quickest, but not the best. We should be developing all our known and possible assets, while adding incentives to developing new.

I have seen reports say all sorts of things. Fact is I didnt say only anwar. I said drill. Drill off our coasts, Drill in anwar, go after oil shale in the mid west, also go after alternative fuels, Build more refineries, more Nuke plants. Do it all.
But why am I arguing with you, Your mind is clearly closed on the subject. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
