I'd imagine this field will not contribute any more than th existing alaska fields do now, and this will not come online for over three years, we'll be in proven decline by then and all this will do is slow down the inevitable decline... hope they are taking the environment into consideration

Good. Now they can raise prices even higher to pay for the drilling. Anything they do they will profit from and we the consumer will pay dearly.

Now if you ask House Speaker Nancy Pestillence she would say it will do no good to do this because the results would be too far down the road and might cause damage to the enviorment. I say she is so stupid. Any work to recover oil from the ground will help until we can figure out other energy sources. I would rather the U.S. drill and keep our money here than send it to some other country.

For all you guys who keep saying "Drill! Drill! Drill!" here ya go. Canada's doing it and Canada is the biggest supplier of oil to the U.S. in the world. So, the U.S. still has to depend on foreign supplies but it's at least better to be coming from a friendly nation and perhaps decreasing dependence on OPEC.

You watch...Polosi will come back and encourage the dem's to sign a phoney bill that says one thing and means another from the way it's written. Just to try and fool us. They really think "We The People" are so very stupid.
She doesn't fool me and I'm sure she doesn't fool you either...Oh! Isn't it a conflict of interest if she invests her own money in that T Boone Pickens windmill source of energy plan??? She'll be doing everything she can to promote this...wait and see...

We need for congress to come back from their extended taxpayer paid vacation and address this now. Pelosi and demos are blocking the offshore drilling in US, which includes 50 miles inland. Drill Here, Drill Now to meet our needs until a good economical alternative is developed.
