Everyone already knows this? If drilling in ANWR will do nothing to change this situation then why is it even being discussed? oh yeah...

Drilling in Alaska has little to do with the oil problem. It will not provide a significant amount for sustained culture as we know it (based on the preliminary estimates). It will not provide an alternate energy source. It will provide jobs and industry in a time when America needs it. Alaska has no real manufacturing base. All the equipment and supplies are shipped in.

So by selling our natural resources to the more profitable Chinese and Japanese markets we can ensure that the lower 48 will have no real manufacturing base either. Wonderful solution.
