Who would like to see ANWR opened up to oil and natural gas drilling?

I wouldn't like to see it drilled. We need to just suck up and pay for the upgrade of our society to more renewable sources of fuel. The alternative sources won't mess up the ecosystem as much and it will create jobs. After all, that area is supposed to be untouchable natural land. Let it stay that way, especially if the only reason to ruin it would be to save money.

I think it'd be a great idea.  We need to relinquish ourselves as a country from the idea that we need to depend so heavily on foreign oil

If Al Qaeda pays $100 a day, who do you think is funding this? We are by buying oil from Iran and the rest of the Middle East! Let's start drilling our own offshore oil!

Sure we could, but why bother taking over such a wasteland.  Once the oil goes, they are done.

in northern alberta we pump back water that is used to treat the oil when we process it...also use the caverns to hold natural gas like giant storage tanks under the ground...we open valves and presto gas on tap

Check your facts, and then find new sources for your information.\nOPEC determines oil prices.\nIn 1973 they did it creating our first 'gas crisis' in retaliation for our involvment in and equipping of Isreal for their war with Egypt.\nAs long as the liberal qwacks keep preventing drilling in Alaska, we'll have a shortage.\nUntil GAS COMPANIES and CAR MANUFACTURES stop preventing alternative fuel sources.\nAnd until idiots like you stop making up phony questions.

Houston will add another publicly traded energy company to its roster later this year, when Roswell, N.M.-based Hondo Oil & Gas moves its corporate headquarters here. \n\nThis latest corporate relocation, however, isn't likely to excite the Houston housing market too much. \n\nOnly one Hondo employee -- C.B. McDaniel, company secretary and counsel -- will be moving from New Mexico to Houston. The corporate office eventually will house four workers. \n\nThe company's president and chief executive, John Hoey, won't be moving here. He'll continue to live in Pennsylvania. \n\nStill, Paul Hayes, an analyst with Oppenheimer & Co., said the move only makes sense. "Roswell is not exactly the transportation center of the Western Hemisphere." \n\nWith revenues of only $44,000 in fiscal 1995, Hondo Oil & Gas has never exactly been a blue chip stock. \n\nBut the chairman of this oil and gas producer is Robert O. Anderson, the former chairman of Atlantic Richfield Co. and a legend in the Oil Patch. \n\nAnd the company became the talk of the industry when it sold off all its other oil and gas assets and bet the ranch on one investment, development of the Opon gas field in Colombia. \n\nThe partners in the project, led by Chicago-based Amoco Corp., planned to build a $59 million pipeline and sell 80 million cubic feet of gas a day to Ecopetrol, Colombia's state-owned oil company. \n\nImpressed by the field's prospects and by the Anderson mystique, investors pushed up Hondo shares to a high of 241/8 in August. \n\n"This was a good project," McDaniel said. "It made sense." \n\nBut then the Colombian government changed the terms of the deal, insisting on a lower gas price ceiling and less-favorable pipeline tariff terms. \n\nSuddenly, the whole project was in jeopardy. Last week, Hondo's stock plunged to a low of 9¼. \n\nUnder the current terms, "we would think it probably would not go forward," McDaniel said. "We don't know at the moment." \n\nBy Wednesday, the company's stock had rebounded to 107/8 on word that London-based Lonrho PLC, the company's chief creditor, had completed its plan to gain control over 77 percent of Hondo Oil & Gas voting stock. \n\nAnderson will stay on as chairman of the company, though he and his family will retain only a minority stake.

In many cases water is pumped into the wells in order to get the oil out.  I just hope we have a smooth transition from oil to solar and wind power, before we blow ourselves up with nuclear plants.

interesting idea but their are already territory disputes happening between the groups because of where the oil is located. i think it makes more sense to get people to work out their differences without resorting to violence

The oil sands in Alberta have lots. They just have a hard time getting it out of the sand. Enough to last until the second coming I'd say.

This country needs to start becoming more self sufficient when it comes to oil supplies.  We have vast oil reserves both in Anwar and other places in the USA.  Sooner or later we must lose our dependency on fossil fuels completely but until then we at least need to end our dependency our foreign oil.  We stopped drilling during the 70s because of concerns with the environment.  Our technology has advanced enough now that I am sure we could drill and refine oil with out destroying our country.

Pass a law preventing the Oil Companies from Raping us.\nDubya is in bed with them though, so it won't happen soon!

Bush,his father, and friends have been in the oil business for decades.  They are all in it for the money, and have a long history of stopping anything that is an alternative, the Rife Microscope for one.  If it is not oil, coal, natural gas etc., you can bet Bush will do anything in his power to oppose it.

You don't have to ask me twice----yes !!!!!!\n\nI would like to see land for wildlife and parks. I would like to know we can support the people here with food if we had too.  And there  would be enough grazing land for lifestock . And Medical for all.   And a place for all to rest.\n\nThis country is a mess of its own problems-and closing that door for a few years would help.\n\nSorry for my crude English.

GOOD QUESTION! Many are over-rating the importance of oil in this region when there is enough oil in our emergency reserves and under the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve to make America self-sufficient beyond the expected need for petroleum based energy. The oil is, however, an important natural resource for those in the middle east and with several of those nations supporting terrorism and nuclear power, that makes for a nasty combination that needs to be carefully monitored!
