...sources and buy energy-efficient cars and homes.” However, The Crimson ignores the fact that such proposals would require additional government spending. The proposal by Senator Murkowski which has been endorsed by President Bush and Energy Secretary Abraham would use the revenue generated by leasing the ANWR area to pay for those conservation proposals that would otherwise be difficult to fund...
...national security depends on the exploration and drilling of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as one lobbyist would have us believe, shouldn't the country become less dependent on this nonrenewable source of energy? A majority of Americans responding to your poll opposed drilling in ANWR, yet oilmen George W. Bush and Dick Cheney will pursue ramming this exploration down America's throat. ANWR is not the solution to our energy problems; conservation and development of renewable sources of power are. JAMES BELL Los Angeles
...lived in aLaska for 12 years and was in ANWR and the Prudhoe Bay oil fields. Most people living in the Lower 48 have absolutely no comprehension of the sheer size of Alaska and the very small part of it that ANWR covers.

The state-of-the-art techniques being used to explore for oil, together with the realization by oil-producing companies that they cannot be reckless in their approach, suggest to me that we can have both the wilderness...
Sacrificing ANWR to oil development is not a long-term solution to America's energy problems. Our nation is addicted to petroleum, with an ever increasing habit, and even the most optimistic estimates of what might be recovered from anwr would only briefly delay the inevitable crisis.

Says Murkowski: "The reality of ANWR is that if you are looking to increase supply, you look at where you are mostly likely to find...
