Its actually refreshing to see that Newt recognizes there is more oil, than just in ANWR, like all the other Repub talking head/politicians continue to babble on about....And he recognizes the importance that Coal can play- a fact even Hitler recognized in 1940 when much of Germany's fuel came from coal gasification/diselification...[/b]
The thing about ANWR is that there is no reason not to drill there! It is as much about the battle of right vs wrong or Tree hugger vs Humans. When the Environment wacko's will not let us drill on such desolated place they will not ever allow all the other things that we need to do to get us off foreign oil. ANWR is the place both parties have chosen to take their last stand at. If the liberal loons will not let drilling in ANWR in this desperate energy crunch it pretty well shows they want and like this crunch.
Remember Democrats always fair best when things are bad, they live for and rely on hard times. That is why they do their best to block any thing that may change it. They are the Party of welfare and race, so as long as they can keep people poor and racial tension they maintain their base.
