Hey guys, I want to apologize for what happened today. My brain seemed to have frozen when I was on stage. I have the information in my mind, but they just don’t want to come out when I needed them. So, to make sure that information wasn’t lost, here I am, making a fool of myself.
To answer Billy’s question, Alaska’s oil will not be going to New York, the cost of transportation will be too expansive. The oil will actually be going into a global market that will distribute oil around the world. In other words, we will be exporting and importing oil at the same time. It will do little to lower our oil prices because OPEC will be adjusting their oil output to make sure there isn’t too much oil in the market. The purpose of Alaska oil is the safeguard that if Middle East stops sending us oil or a hurricane wipe out the oil refineries in Gulf of Mexico, we can limit the oil crisis to a small rise in gas price.
To answer Evan’s question, fighting corruption in our country is easier than fighting terrorism oversea. The majority our imported oils came from Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. Saudi Arabia is a big target for terrorists in Middle East, and the Venezuela president is threatening to end its oil supply to US. What better to show them that we are not intimidated by producing our own supply of oil.
To answer Emily’s question, oil doesn’t come out of nowhere. Even if we don’t drill in Alaska, we still need to get oil from somewhere. If the costs of oil grow, many countries will be more than happy to sell their oil to US. Do u think they will care for their environment? If we don’t do it, others will. At least when we are in control we can put the damage to our environment at a minimum.
I really didn’t like Palin, she focused too much on resources in Alaska instead of other issues. And we all know that ANWR is a failed cause. Also, I’m sorry ___(I don’t remember your name). I still don’t know what you are asking. Now that I got everything out of my system, I’m putting a brown bag on my head.
