Hey just apicker if the gulf war was fought solely for oil why doesn't the US and her Allies own all of Iraqs oil fields and divide the wealth of them amongst them selves?I think we need to search for resources here in the states but at the same time make sure the enviroment is protected an oxy moron some would say but it can be done. The government needs to make laws to insure that big business is doing that such as if you cut down a tree you plant two in its place,if you drill for oil you make damn sure it won't spill into the surrounding enviroment.and so on and so forth. Nuclear power I sure don't want a 3 mile Island or Chernobyl in my back yard.I do however already have strip mining less than a 1/4 mile from my backdoor they were closer than that before but are start moving further around the hill. the thing is as long as they restore everything its good because it provides jobs and we don't have to rely on outside coal for fuel.I don't know if I have made myself clear but have said enough for now.
