I thought the conservative way was to use LESS not MORE? So why do these "conservatives" want to drill in ANWR and the coasts. That doesn't seem very conservative to me.
The conservative way is what T Boone Pickens is promoting and that is the use for more alternative energy not drill up Alaska and the rest of the shores. On top of that the oil companies already have unused leased land that they can explore on. Now they want more? That doesn't sound too conservative to me again.
T Boone Pickens is a Republican and has never and will never vote Democrat according to his words but his plan and focus sounds a lot like Obama's and Al Gore's when it comes to alternative energy.

Conservative is a political philosophy, conservation as used is an eco belief.

For the foreseeable future, oil is the cheapest, the most abundant, the most efficient fuel source we have. It is the lifeblood of the U.S. and of the free world. But because a free markets percolating, from this hotbed of American genius will spring alternative fuel sources. It may not be for fifty years, but it will happen when we need it.

Sun, wind, and tidal are FREE sources, it's utilizing them economically we need to master.

Gas is dropping and you are doing the work that Nancy and Harry promised us they would do.
I knew they would jump in and help us since the idiot leaders of congress have screwed us over and wont even get the guts to vote on this issue.
No more broken promises and lies from the democratic lying machine, vote republican so you can afford to drive your car!
lol...Apparently life is not only good at the beach, but "lala land" as well.
"First things first. If you are running a race with hurdles, jump the first hurdle first," Dorgan told reporters Monday. "The reason we have oil at $130, $140, $145 a barrel - like a roman candle going up, up, up - is because we have excessive, relentless speculation in these markets.
"Nothing in supply and demand in the last year justifies the price of oil," he added.
Mark Cooper of the Consumer Federation of America argued that market fundamentals do not explain a $40 to $60 per barrel "speculative premium" which he believes exists on the price of oil.
Gas prices decline after big drop in crude prices (http://www.kxl.com/tabid/72/itemid/16161/Gas-prices-decline-after-big-drop-in-crude-prices.aspx - broken link)

The price of crude oil had its biggest weekly drop ever, tumbling from its record high of $147 per barrel on July 11 to $129 on July 18. Crude is trading at about $127 today. The drop in oil prices is likely due to a continuing drop in demand for gas and oil products in the U.S. and around the world as economies continue to slow, especially in the U.S. and Europe. It's too early to say whether this is a trend, but it has resulted in lower gas prices in the short term.
