Isn't It Rich

Speaking of Independence...Energy Independence, that is

There are two kinds of people in this country; those who want to drill in ANWR and those who don't. Those who don't, claim drilling in ANWR would defile the pristine wilderness and destroy untold wildlife. John McClain even likens ANWR to the Grand Canyon and of course no one would consider drilling there.

We seldom see photos of ANWR nor have the proponents of drilling there done their part to sell Americans on the idea of oil exploration in ANWR.

I received the following photos in an email which I hope gets wide circulation in this country. These pics should be getting national attention so people can see what ANWR looks like and how very little land would actually be used in the exploration process.

Please scroll down:









The area to be explored in ANWR is quite close to Prudhoe Bay which has proven to be quite clean and unobtrusive to the surrounding environs.


This is a photo of the frozen ANWR tundra in winter. Not exactly the Grand Canyon! The following 3 pics show the tundra in the summer.











Here's a Google Earth shot of the Prudhoe Bay/ANWR exploration areas.


This is a shot of a well in the Prudhoe Bay area. Doesn't seem to be a scarsity of wildlife, does there.


The same or similar site in winter.


Maybe Big Oil has been able to teach the otherwise bored bears to make inspections along the oil pipelines. Either that or Big Oil and Big Wildlife are getting along famously together. I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

Great pics aren't they.

There are two kinds of people in this country; those who are rational and wish to see us continue to function and prosper and those who are irrational and wish to see us deprived of energy.

The "no drill democrats" will be the ruination of this country and it's happening quickly right before our very eyes. Sadly, there are very few politicians on the right side of the isle who are boldly standing up in opposition to them.

Why, you ask, would Big Govt want to deprive us of an ongoing supply of abundant energy? That's easy. So they can have an even bigger govt to control and regulate our lives. They create any given problem (in this case, an energy shortage) so they can "solve" the problem with even more damaging repercutions. For instance, Obama promises to impose more taxes on those who produce energy...like that will produce more energy and lower prices at the pump. In turn, govt educated minions will turn to Big Govt for handouts in order to afford the higher energy costs...after all, they've been indoctrinated to believe that Big Govt is the solution to all of our problems.

It may even be more sinister. If govt regulations and confiscatory taxation makes it impossible for Big Oil, Big Airline, Big Health Care, Big Auto or Big Anything to do business, then Big Govt may "have to step in" to save the country. Unless Americans stand up to those who are destroying our economy, you can very well expect to see the "nationalization" (read Govt takeover) of private industry one industry at a time.

If Americans don't come together in some massive movement soon to demand that deadbeat politicians lift drilling restrictions, then life in America as we know it is going to change big time...but then that's what the left wants, isn't it...change.
