Beating the very ‘Deadhorse’
In the midst of my southwest relocation, I choked on my mate when I read about a state-funded organization’s plan to bring G. Gordon Liddy to Alaska to broadcast for a week and preach about the merits of drilling into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. ADN reported, in an April 19th story, that Arctic Power will bring this chrome dome to our great state to try to sway public opinion towards pillaging ANWR for a miniscule amount of oil that WILL NOT AFFECT GAS PRICES (See Oil Economics and ANWR below from a March 15th post). What’s more, all of the buffoons running for president have said they will not open it up. Of all the expenditures the state has a hand in, this is up there in the Hall of Sham (along with APFC investments, see March 4th and 18th posts below…).
If the state adds up all of its expeditures on the ANWR Occupation Plan- Mr. Stevens personnel alone undoubtedly has spent a figure with many a zero. That’s a lot of money spent trying to destroy one of the greatest assets the state has, an unparalleled and unique National Wildlife Refuge. Stop beating this pointless and unpopular idea to a bloody bloody pulp and build some damn solar and wind farms, throw big figures into home efficiency upgrades, and think without oil.
Yes, I truly see the new movement to open ANWR soon, due to the high fuel prices. Like all measures to open ANWR, I feel that this one will also fail. I look forward to the neocon propaganda (jobs, cheap gas, chicken-in-every-pot) this is truly must see MSM. The big BUT is that all three presidential cronies are running on a eco-sensitive platform. Bush did not get ANWR open with Stevens, Young, or formal Gov. Murky. ANWR is not going to happen!!!! Don’t believe the hype!
