Why do the democrats oppose drilling of oil here in North America?...

[Henry Hawk]

telling people that caribou is going to die and big business man will destroy the enivroment IS and nothing more than a scare tactic...

Actually, it's a fact.  "Big Business Man" has been destroying the environment for years. 

I'm no tree hugger, but you can't dispute that, Henry.

I think there IS a fine line that has to toted...........yeah, both sides has been extremists.............we have got to find a middle road on this issue......

I want to say.........I am 100% for being as enviromental friendly as possible..............and I believe there ARE ways for 'big business' to do it's thing AND be good stewards of this earth.

...........if it is NOT profitable.............it will NEVER, EVER, EVER happen.............period.

yup.  pretty much the crux of the matter here.  trouble is, people are screaming at the top of thier lungs for the next technology - be it hydrogen, electric, some combination, or something not even thought of yet.  big oil is crying it's death knell and squeezing the most out of the last bump they can.  ironic, because by boosting the prices they are basically paging dr. kevorkian.

it's gonna happen, and when it does the one trick pony - big oil - is gonna be out of business.

one would think, that it would behove Exxon, to diversify, and become leaders in tomorrow's technology...............become Exxon "hydrogen" or whatever, they can become...........put it's billion $$ profits into the NEXT form of energy.............

and I think, that the bottom is going to fall out on the Oil market ...sooner rather than later..........I, think it will fall just as the housing market did......and the dot.com market did.........

I think they HAVE been doing that in the past..............but their time is running out..............and they NEED to diversify........


like the sheiks in Saudi Arabi diversifying from oil to tourism..........it's all about keeping the $$$ coming in.........
