- Dear Sen. McCain: Trucker Randy's Real-life Perspective on Drilling at ANWR
anwr
According to the News-Leader John McCain says that he is willing to reconsider drilling in ANWR.
For years, McCain has opposed drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
But McCain said he'd be willing to reconsider that stance as well.
"I would be more than happy to examine it again," McCain said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to me that the "Band Wagon" has begun to roll. Many Republicans that had previously apposed drilling off of our coasts and other various locations within the U.S. are starting to hear the music.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist is one of the latest to change his positon on offshore drilling.
Newt Gingrich is leading the way having obtained more than one Million signatures in a petition he calls Drill here.Drill now.Pay less.
There has been some speculation that Mitt Romney is on the short list of choices for John McCain's VP but will fundamental differences on energy stunt the growth of such rumors?.
In an interview with Fox's Shepard Smith (See video below) Mitt Romney was asked about energy.
"...We've made some big mistakes in the past on gas prices by not developing our own natural resources-our own oil and gas as well as alternative energy sources it's time for us to get serious about full comprehensive plan to become energy independent-Doing that-beginning to make that investment- will have and impact on futures prices and bring down the cost of oil..."
Romney obviously believes that we must exploit our own natural resources to reduce gas prices and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil.
John McCain seems to think differently.
Video:ANWR is one of the pristine places in the world",'' McCain said. ''I wouldn't drill in the Grand Canyon either, and I wouldn't drill in the Everglades." - John McCain December 2007
Both agree that measures need to be implemented to reduce the burden on the American consumer.
In this paricular case, I have to agree with Romney. While China begins drilling off the coast of Florida Former Governor Jeb Bush and current Governor Charlie Crist have supported BLOCKING American companies from drilling off the coast of Florida.
Two viable and possibly abundant sources of oil that would be controlled and used by the USA and it's citizens have been designated "off limits".
Environmentalists must be partying like it's 1899...:)
