It's not that they didn't find oil. Or can't.
It's about the economics of field developement--required number of well, spacing, etc. And getting the oil to market once all that's done. The NPR-A, just West of ANWR, has similar amounts of oil spread over ten times the area. And some of the other arms of the Octopus known as the Left have kept pipelines bringing the oil and natural gas out of Alaska on the drawing board for the last forty years! Rope-a-Dope. No drilling=No spilling. The party of hope. And dopes.

Al Gore wanted $5/gal gasoline in his "Earth in the Balance" period(2000). What kind of dumbfuck voter thinks the Dems are out to help them now? Jim Jones had heavy Dem connections. Maybe he left them the recipe for his refreshing summer cooler.

The Earth may not have been cooking for the last twenty years, by the little worker bees of the Left have been busy.

"It was the eighth warmest June on record for the globe, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Wednesday in the 129 years since records began in 1880. And the first six months of the year were the ninth warmest since record keeping began in 1880, NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center reported. The planets average temperature for June was 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit, 0.9 degrees warmer than average for the month.

DON’T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT. Just a few days ago, the University of Alabama, Huntsville came out with their global assessment and they reported the 22nd warmest in the 30 years of records in their data base (in other words the 9th coldest). In fact, their global mean was actually below the average (base period 1979-1998) with a value of -0.11C (-0.19F). This is a full 1.1F degrees colder than the NOAA guesstimate. The other NASA satellite source, RSS had June as the 13th coldest out of the last 30 years. "

MAYBE LMA can get Fluffy to let you read the whole thing.

Cooking the books does contribute to global warming afterall.
