If we don't explore before it becomes necessary, by the time it becomes necessary it will be too late.

The environmantalists would do well to get on board now, while they still have some clout and wrest as many consessions as they can from the Energy Dept. If they continue to fight the exploration of ANWAR they may delay it until things are desparate and then the job will be done quick and dirty instead of slow and careful.

Because believe me, unless there is a miracle breakthrough in a whole new field of energy, it's gonna happen.
