So let me see if I understand what we are talking about. Instead of drilling in the barren plains of the arctic we will strip mine those ugly old mountains in Colorado.

Not that I'm worried about it. I'm sure most of the oil will flow without being spilled and the strip miners will fill in their hole when they are done. We will continue to drive our SUV's and sell our oil to other countries so the companies can continue to bring in their hard earned profits and the princes of the economy can continue to ride in their limosines.

The future is rosy and I feel good about it.
