Alaska's Folly

Applications for permits to drill in the Arctic won't be considered until 2011

I can hear the whining loud and clear from here! Jobs, jobs, jobs, lost revenue, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! At what cost? The BP disaster has proven that should something go wrong at that depth, the ecological price is enormous! Louisiana isn't that far away Alaska and you may want to rethink drilling in your pristine areas by Foreign conglomerates! You could be the next contestant on "The Spill is Right"! Alaska, your politicians are selling you out and when it is all said and done you will be left with a bill of sale for some empty wells and a plethora of polluted pot holes in the Earth. Those dividend checks are nice but only last as long as the oil flows. 

Spill Baby, Spill.
