Can we please get our own oil reserves...

[Faux Pas]

hey, I'm all for developing new, alertntive energy sources... but like most everyone agrees, that probably won't happen till we acutually run out of our current source

and what about those huge wind turbine fields out in california.. they were a hopefull sign but were halted as I understand the birds were flying into the blades and the envioromentalists/animal rights people were not pleased about that.

and the other offshore wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound.... the one that Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Ted Kennedy don't like because it 's not so attractive to the eye?

While campaigning, Kerry has pitched a national effort to derive 20 percent of the country's electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

Kerry also led efforts in the Senate to prevent drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and supports higher fuel efficiency standards for vehicles.

"It is very hard to maintain those positions when you are given a legitimate opportunity to harvest electricity by the wind and you oppose it," said Spyro Mitrokostas, executive director of the Cape Cod Technology Council. </B>

The person/s who harness the power of "anti-matter" will be very rich people indeed.

IMO, that's where the future of energy is at.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough reserves in ANWR to eliminate, or even significantly reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Also, it would take 5 to 10 years before the oil there came onto the market. Better we spend our dollars on alternative energy technologies that are already in the pipeline, so to speak, and can be on the market before the first drop of oil is ever seen from ANWR.
