Or do they think it is more important to keep us on the teet? In the name of transparency….that last post was me :)

The Sierra Club and Conservation/Preservation groups have just about nothing to do with the high price of gas. If we had listened to the conservationists back in the 70's and worked to decrease the DEMAND for oil in our country we could be largely petroleum free by now - unfortunately all of the conservation measures were blocked economically by the oil industry, and now we are even more addicted than back then. The reason for high oil prices is the worldwide demand - China, India, etc. The Bush Administration recently released a study saying that their 'holy grail' of development, the exploitation of the ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE would not have a significant effect on the price of gas (less than $0.05 cents per gallon in 7-10 years). Of course nobody even mentions that the Oil Industry is only actively producing oil or exploring on less than 20% of the lands that they have leased for production. YES....they are forgoing production so that the price stays high! Since when did our great nation become so morally and ethically poor that we must exploit our last remaining wild spaces for a bit of oil that isn't really needed (see the effects of high priced energy in Juneau - a 20% drop in use in less than 30 days) and that will have permanent costs. There is only one small section of America's Arctic Coastline that is not dedicated to Oil production - More than 80% is (National PETROLEUM Reserve and Prudhoe Bay Unit). Can't we forgo the irrevelant effects of destroying the wilderness character of this last bit of true American Arctic - or should we leave it to the Canadians and their 'higher' moral standards regarding their earth. The next time you look at the price of gas, look also at the profit margins of the big oil companies and the efficiency that Americans have of their vehicles and homes. We have met the enemy and he is US! Hell Dave….

It's time that we start being humanists and think about the human race. We have the technology and the resources to safely drill, provide nuclear and alternative energy to meet our demands. Let's not put our country in danger by relying on foreign oil.

]]> Comment on 5th of July Exit Glacier Road Cleanup by andy_bacon http://sewardcitynews.com/2008/07/02/5th-of-july-exit-glacier-road-cleanup/#comment-8804 andy_bacon Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:22:05 +0000 http://sewardcitynews.com/2008/07/02/5th-of-july-exit-glacier-road-cleanup/#comment-8804 Hi, There are currently 5 Americorps members working at the SeaLife Center. 3 of us started last September and our term of service ends in exactly one month. The other two started in February and will also finish in August. In addition to that there are 10 members working on trail maintenance at Exit Glacier. They are working all over the peninsula and are based out of Indian. Also, I should mention that it looks like we've got this trash collection thing covered. Odds are we're just going to run into campers and hand them trash bags. I just want there to be a community presence down there letting people know they cant just leave stuff. If you're so inclined, come out and check on us. Hi,
