Stable energy prices and enhanced national security will only come when we increase domestic energy resources, which was accomplished today with the opening of ANWR.
We cannot drill our way out of our addiction to oil.
What they [Jim deMint and the oil lobby] do care about is the precedent. If they open up ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge), they'll think they can do anything to the environment - anything at all. Drilling in Yosemite? In the Grand Canyon? What's next?
There is no reason not to support energy exploration in ANWR.
Drilling in ANWR fails to lower energy prices today and sets no long term energy strategy for tomorrow.
