There is absolutely no reason we should drill not be able to drill for oil anywhere (including ANWR). The technology and safety controls, as well as the rapid response programs in the case of a release are more than adequate.

Here's an interesting point that should make you gnash your teeth. Do you realize that the Chinese are exploring for oil off the coast of Florida? They have contracts with the government of Cuba. So while the Chinese explore for oil (in a way that I guarantee is not sensitive to the environment) we are prohibited by Democrats in Congress. It is the most counter productive, inane thing I have ever seen.

We should absolutely be looking for alternative energy but to artificially hamper our energy production while the rest of the world explores away only guarantees our sending billions of dollars to prop up unfriendly governments like Venezuala and those in the middle east. It is easy to see where Dem's being beholden to environmental groups (the last official bastion of anti-capitalists and socialists) has damaged our national security.
