House Strikes ANWR Language from Budget Bill

Amazing. The US House has dropped Oil Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from the budget bill. This is like watching a neck and neck superbowl in overtime. Nothing is quite set in stone yet, so I’ll mention it one more time – watch the video “Drawing the Line” which makes an economic argument against opening the refuge and please pass it on to as many people as you can, especially your elected reps!

    We'd apparently save more oil by raising our fuel standards by a third of a mile per gallon than we'd ever get out of ANWR. It is ridiculous to hit this place up before exhausting other much more practical and positive options. There are few places on earth like ANWR left and still plenty of better ways to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
