Are tree huggers out-of-business?

With the sky-high prices at the pump, and American politicians (all-parties nonetheless) talking about drilling in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and others hot petroleum spots, will the Greenpeace activists raise their voices even louder in protest, or will they instead view the plight that our nation is in and ease up a notch (or two)?

What’s your position on the matter?

Should we ignore the activists and drill in our backyard? Should we, on the other hand, keep enduring the high cost of gas, and allow for the likes of Al Gore and Greenpeace to detour our nation into environmentalism?

In my view, we should not only drill in our back yard, but we should give those tree hugging fanatics a bunch of shovels so that they can dig for oil in north (cold!) Alaska. That’ll teach ‘em.

That’s my angle. What’s yours?
 
:roll: What can I say? There's really nothing I can say about that.

Let them drill off the Florida coast before touching Alaska and the rest of the Northwest.....
 
I would say go for it as we cant afford the gas anymore.

Now that I am working and I drive maybe 2 or 3 times a week to work not 5 times. Thanks goodness for that.
 
What I want to see is that we ought to be driving electric cars and do everything we can to avoid using oil. Who knows we might need some oil for something that can't use any alternatives in the future? I am angry at the Big Three car companies for not learning anything from the energy crisis back in the 70's. I have bought american cars but I would want to buy an electric car (as long as I have my eyesight) even if it is foreign-made.

Funny, I was telling my brother yesterday about this.
 
I am a part of a half a dozan forums on the net (mostly boards for avid readers) and I created this identical thread on each. I have been totally blasted on each and every forum to the point where I am now taking a break from the all boards (minus AD) for a little while. I would like to declare that I no longer whan to participate in this thread- my own thread- because I do not want to hear the garbage. So I consider this thread closed even if it isn't. Thanks for your understanding.
