Considering the time it takes to get a new well on line, it is not
going to help much or help any time soon. In the ten or more years it
will take, the landscape is likely to be far different.

So what to do. Well we are starting to do it. People are feeling
the pinch and are starting to conserve. There are few people who
can't cut their energy use both in the short term and long term.

Nothing new, the same things we use to do before cheap oil and two
SUVs in every garage. Consolidate trips shopping or visiting and
consider car pools. Take public transit where available. Turn down
the heat or A/C Turn off those unneeded lights like you dad told you
when you were a kid. Shorter showers. The list is long, but easy to
do.

In the long term (ten years is a long term) get rid of those
oversized cars, get a job close to home or a home close to work and
shopping. Push for laws allowing more dense housing and jobs, shoppin
and homes closer to each other.

Don't profit the oil companies and car industry, Conserving
benefits you. Do it for yourself.

True. The agitation for drilling in ANWR started during the first years of
the Clinton administration, some 15 years ago.

The resistance then - which continues 'til this day - contributed to the
mess we're in today.

Some great worth once said: (paraphrasing) "It is not your duty to complete
the goal; but it is not your right to delay beginning the task."

And the big pools off shore such as parts of the Gulf of Mexico have
been off-limits even longer.

That's not any reason to not drill now.

The fact remains that the bit of oil they will get from trashing the environment
of pristine places will make NO significant difference in prices.

And then there are the hundreds of thousands of acres of oil leases that are
stockpiled for future profits. Why not develop those first? I wonder?

And maybe outlaw the exportation of alaska oil.(Again)
