Alaska is beautiful. I was born and raised there. I live in San Antonio right now, with my husband who is in the military. As soon as he gets out we are going back home. Summers there are perfect (70-80 degrees)for fishing, hunting, tons of places to go 4-wheeling, but winters can get a little cold. But you have snow machining, snowboarding, and skiing to keep ya warmed up.

They are really pushing for this drilling and I agree with you it is not right. I would not be surprised if it ends up happening though. The way the government in this country is run nowadays "president" Bush does anything he damn well pleases. Let's keep the hope that they find a new alternative.

I have fished in both. Alaska is great and so is Argentina. The "Golden Dorado" is an awesome fighter. I would really check out Argentina first. It was an amazing experience. Hint go in Oct-Nov. Here are a few websites\nhttp://www.golden-dorado.com/\nhttp://www.xclusivexpeditions.com/flash.html

I don't know your problems with water there. Except many years ago when I lived in Norwalk we had to boil our water and have water delivered. A few years ago up here in Alaska our Governor wanted to build an under water (ocean) pipeline to California, because they were having a crisis. Then your officials wanted to buy it from us. Our water is really good and abundant. But our voters got mad and said no. We should start over and try again. Alaska has so much water. What do you think?

It's within the Arctic Circle in which that happens. Part of Alaska is included in that area, but not all of it.

Drilling into the earth is done for a number of reasons. Some are exploratory, many are for oil, some for water, some for mining purposes, and others for various reasons. As we explore the layers of the earth, we uncover many things and have a need to dig deeper into the earth into uncharted regions, not knowing what we will find.\n\nThe deepest drilling ever done by mankind is the drilling that has taken place on the Kola Peninsula in Russia. This drilling started in 1970 and had reached a depth of 12,262 meters, in 1994. The drilling itself was done differently in the Kola Peninsula. The entire drill itself was not rotated; only the drill bit was turned by the flow of drilling mud.\n\nThe Kola Peninsula drill's goal drilling depth is 15,000 meters. At this depth it is expected to be 300 degrees Celsius or higher, too high of a temperature for the drill to operate at. Another drilling worth mentioning has been started in the Caspian Sea. This drill also shares the same goal depth as the drilling at the Kola Peninsula. Aside from drillings for research, a noteworthy drilling is the Bertha Rogers well in Oklahoma, Texas, which is a 9,583 m (31,441 ft) deep gas well. This was the previous world record holder prior to the drilling in the Kola Peninsula. The well was started in 1974 and continued until it struck molten sulfur at its final depth.

Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:\n\nThe Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person. \n\nIn 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments. \n\nAlaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production. \n\nHoover Institution\n                                                                    Kuwait:\n\nDemocracy, Kuwait Style\n                                                                           Peter Berkowitz\n\n\n\nIt’s not that the woman question was the only issue faced by voters. From the owner and editor in chief of Kuwait’s largest newspaper, to the chief executive officer of Kuwait Petroleum Company, to the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, our interlocutors argued that the Kuwaiti economy is stagnating and that the remedy is privatization. This is a difficult proposition, however, in a country where 90 to 95 percent of the labor force is employed by the government, which generally pays more than the private sector. And designing institutions to create the right incentives will be difficult in a country whose oil wealth supports a massive welfare state with no taxes that generously funds its citizens’ health, education, and housing needs. \n\nPollution free electric power has been all over DC. Clinton, Gore, Newt, Sam Nun, DOE, and many other you wouldn’t know.\n\nClinton “was too busy moving the country forward”\nGore said “I wish you good luck, I’m glad to see other’s are working on our energy problem”\nNewt “promised his full support” To sell to Ga. Power for a .01c on the dollar to invent and patent this tech\nI have letters from these crum
