Can someone explain why this progressive fellow voted for opening drilling in the arctic wildlife refuge, a vote which one by a 51 to 49 margin?

Disappointed: You have it backwards: Obama for FOR removing the amendement to allow drilling, not FOR drilling.

Sorry, but what does really win in congress? The permission to drill for oil in Alaska arctic wildness, or the prohibition of this drilling? Could anyone explain it precisely to spare me some time to look it over while it is not yet documented on Internet. I got by the way a lot of problems with my computer registry, while fighting to see pictures from P. Neuman article about Arctic and Midwest change of climate, not knowing that simultaneously congress was voting for this Arctic oil drill, which, probably, was the reason for these pictures' disappearance.
PS No explanation needed. I looked over the link above and understood the essence.
Strange, however, that all these opponents of oil drilling have been ignoring all opportunities to help to develop combustion engine's alternative. Do they expect the fuel to come from the sky as manna did when Moses led his people from Egypt or what? Especially, if USA is completely out of Iraq, as the majority of USA population wants. |
