And many experts say the 10 billion barrel estimate is very optimistic. When you consider the possible impact on the envirnment, it is really a bad move.Seamheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281681151691962356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1111157080477340482005-03-18T08:44:00.000-06:002005-03-18T08:44:00.000-06:00I want to believe them when they say the drilling ...I want to believe them when they say the drilling will have a minimal impact on the wildlife but the truth is I don't know what the impact will be. We get differing versions from both sides and it's hard to know what the real effect will be. I think in the long run, it's bad for nature, which includes all of us. One thing that struck me was the yield is thought to be at least 10 Billion barrells which is only about a 30 year supply. (some estimates have it as much as 30 Billion) My question is... "What then?". I agree the oil companies are the worst about WIIFM. (what's in it for me) If we don't mainstream some other forms of energy soon, I could see the sponge squeezed dry in my lifetime. What value will any of God's creations have then?

I think there is an old 60's Joanie Mitchell song with lyrics "They paved paradise and put in a parking lot. We don't know what we've got till it's gone." Doesn't seem like we've learned very much. To many of us stick our heads in the sand and think the next generation will solve the problem. You bet -- nature has intrinsic value!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
