Thanks.

8. Now that's one I wouldn't have been able to guess. Thanks.

Isn't there a list somewhere for those of us still trying to learn all the acronyms?

3. You have heard of peak oil, right?

It's only downhill for oil and uphill for prices.

4. BanzaiBonnie is right, IMO

I'm not blaming anyone, but I will say Jimmy Carter did try to point out the writing on the wall, but no one wanted to hear it. I will say Cheney seems to want to hasten the crash (tax breaks for SUV drivers, saying conservation isn't necessary) so it will happen while the neocons are in power.

5. peak oil is a geological fact.....alaska gives the US only 1 yr of oil and

the oil companies are backing off of alaska...the politicians want it

6. Absolutely. Refusing to release any oil from the reserves which Dubya

has also filled, has also helped drive up the price. And yet, the media never mentions the record oil company profits--Exxon-Mobil is the leader, earned a record profit $25.3 billion in 2004.

We need your help right now to stop oil drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge before it's too late!

President Bush and his pro-drilling allies in Congress are using a sneaky backdoor trick to pass their controversial proposal to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by inserting it in the must-pass federal budget bill. But Sen. Maria Cantwell from Washington State has proposed an amendment to strip Arctic drilling language from the federal budget.

Using the budget to open the Arctic Refuge is a sneaky backdoor trick to avoid democratic debate on this critical issue. Senator Cantwell's amendment will prevent such budget trickery.


There is no time to waste; a vote on the Senate floor will take place as early as TODAY. It's very important that your Senators hear from as many constituents as possible.

A lot is riding on this decision. This incomparable wilderness is home to more than 250 animal species, including wolves, grizzlies, caribou, and millions of migrating birds. Unfortunately, it is also the target of an intense, relentless lobbying campaign by the oil industry.

We need you to help make some noise! If we can draw enough attention to this issue, we can stop oil industry allies in Congress from getting away with this attempt to slip Arctic drilling into the budget bill.
