Maybe some of our Alaskan forum co-members can shed some light on this.
I seem to recall that during recent capital hill hearings/debates on the subject of opening the National Arctic Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, one of the senators from Alaska said something to the tune that the citizens of Alaska were generally in favor of it. But a group of exteme left leaning Congressman and Senators who support tree-hugging causes banded together and defeated the motion to open the area for drilling.
I guess I can't understand why a group of liberals who likely have never even been to Alaska are dictating to Alaskans what and what not they can do in their own land??

$2.34/g at the high volume truck stops, in town at gas stations...$2.49. Doesn't make sense! Peanut farms not a bad idea, implement companies are warrantying up to B20 now I think.
They're poppin holes all over further east of here in the panhandle. When I went to Dallas last October there were quite a few holes being drilled north of DFW. Too bad legislators here won't let us have more than one natural gas well per section.
Invade South America? You gonna call a draft? Aren't we spread pretty thin as it is.
The whole Alaska thing is messed up. I'd hate to have someone thousands of miles away telling me that I'm gonna pay higher fuel prices because the woods are more important. Don't get me wrong I like the wilderness but if the state's politicians are for it, let'm do it!
Wonder how our Alaskan members feel.

venezeula one big Navy boat, 20 Marine troops and we can take the capital of caracass.
i see no causalties on our side.
the people there loves us, plus they got great food
peanut oil is easy to make ready to burn to .... just filter it
there was a northern state college ag program using the waste wheat grain stalks as a source for bio fuels.
brazil is making almost all teh ethanol they need and are almost off teh oil dependent list
what holds US back is our chicken sh*t legislators. they dont realize we could take over as a major world oil player/controller and be an even richer country.
we can dominate as a major bio fuel producer.
we got to get rid of the kennedys and kerries from office
sorry didnt mean to rant

For me, it's not so much the price per gallon, here in the US.... It's the, so called, Reasons Why.
Fuel prices have been 4,5,6+ bucks a gallon for years, over seas. We've had it Good here....
But just because some country Rattles it's Sword, or >1< oil platform or refinery blows a Widgit valve... and has to go Off Line or slow it's production... I just can't see WHY fuel goes up 30, 40 cents a gallon. In 2 weeks. And Profits go up along with it.
Somethings a matter with that Picture.
Anybody see that piece on 60 Minutes about "OIL SANDS" in Canada ?.... They say theres enough Oil in the Sands, on the surface lands up there, to carry ALL of North America, beyond the 21st Century.
Thats not to mention the Artic oil reserves.... nuther whole distorted picture.
It's time we get off our Duff and use whats available to us. With a Clear and Honest Picture of how it works.
Okay
it'.... I'm dun Ranting.JOE
I waz Pizzed at the price of fuel..... then I saw a guy Hitchhike'n, with everthing he owned, on his back.
