You think that will help? Please. Shortage is myth. No different than pointless blackouts in Cali couple years back. You think they built more power plants since then?

Isn't that the South American country that absolutely hates our guts right now? I thought I remembered hearing something on the radio about that a couple of days ago.

1) What's the average wage and cost of living in Iraq? (relative prices)
2) How many people actually drive as opposed to those who don't? (supply/demand)
3) Britain pays more than we do, so who cares about pointing out the US?

Our gas prices would be cheaper if we'd continue drilling in Alaska instead of buying overpriced barrels of oil from OPEC.

Odds of surviving a gas fillup at most US gas stations - 99.99%
Odds of surviving a gas fillup at most Iraq gast stations - 50%

I'd rather pay $2.679 a gallon then be dead.

You are aware that even under a best case scenario drilling in ANWR will have virtually ZERO effect on anything, including our reliance on foreign oil, and oil/gas prices. It also wouldn't even begin to be available until about 10 years from now...
