Ummm, just how much global heating are you planning on? Man is just one of the various species of 'critters' that live here, and yes, man might have a very limited local impact, but man is not powerful enough to effect the natural cycles and upheavels of nature. We are only part of nature, we do not control 'nature'. |
Haha, right. No species is guaranteed survival on this planet. Just look at how many man has hunted to extinction.

This is still America (for the time being), free enterprise (sort of..) with capitalism (while the 'progressives' are chipping away at it), so you had better hurry up and start your own alternative energy business. Now is the time! Get in on the ground floor so that after years and years of development and inve$tment you too can be raking in the big buck$!!
I can't tell what you're getting at here. You seem to be sarcastically going in two different directions.

How can you not tell what I'm getting at! What about "start your own alternative energy business" can you not understand? :roll:
|
I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. I guess I know now. :roll:

Of course Chevy gets parts off shore, but when I buy a Chevrolet (I don't knos about Chrysler or Ford anymore, since their European 'parnerships') the CORPORATE PROFIT stays here; if I buy a Tyota, the CORPORATE PROFIT goes to Japan.

Even if you were right about this, how would it hurt us? Does it matter if to you whether an American CEO or a Japanese CEO gets rich? Americans are still being employed and the companies are paying taxes here.

The 'footprint' of the proposed drilling station in ANWR is proportional to a standad business envelope lying on an NFL football field. The local critters will move and adjust. Or maybe they will move in closer to the station as they have in other areas, like the pipeline, Cape Canaveral, the Space Research Center in Huntsville Al, etc.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sure the animals would love to have humans drilling for oil. The 'footprint' of the neighbor's dog poop in my yard is small, but that doesn't mean I want it there or it doesn't bother me.
