Fshfndr from KANSAS says one more for the liberal tree huggers
Are you really tired of paying close to $4 dollars at the pump? Do you really want to do something about it?
And while we're at it, did you know that gasoline costs 45 cents a gallon in Saudi Arabia, 35 cents in Iran, and less than a quarter in Venezuela?
Here in the United States, prices are already ABOVE $4.00 a gallon in some areas of the country!
Why does gasoline cost so little in these third-world countries and so much in the United States of America? Because Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela harvest enough oil to take care of their own people, and WE DON'T!
What can we do about it?
Let's face it, the only real solution is to increase the supply!
Perhaps that's why President Bush called for opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil exploration.
Geologists tell us that ANWR sits on top of enough oil to give us the energy-independence we once enjoyed... Independence we frittered away through years of cowardly kowtowing to Greenies and Liberals.
Conservative estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey confirm that ANWR would produce at least 10.4 billion barrels of new oil!
So what does that figure mean to us ordinary folks who drive cars?
It means we'd have...
Enough oil to replace 15 years of imports from Saudi Arabia and 58 years of Iraqi oil!
Enough oil to run 29 U.S. states for more than a century!
Enough oil to cut a major chunk out of the $150 BILLION the United States spends every year, buying oil from our enemies, who -- out of envy and hatred -- hold us hostage and gouge us.
And here's the kicker: Some experts predict the ANWR yield could run as high as 27 BILLION BARRELS!
So who's stopping us? Who's holding us hostage? The Democrats and RINOs on Capitol Hill -- frantically kissing the feet of crazed Greenies -- who would prefer to see you and your family suffer than inconvenience one polar bear or walrus or caribou.
