But it might help us in the future. Being from Alaska I think it is ridiculous we aren't trying to use our own resources that we know we have. We also have oil being produced right now in the state and we have some of the highest costs in the nation for gas. Yesterday it was $3.86 a gallon for regular and $4.44 for diesel...but it was supposed to go up even more from what the news said. As far as destruction of land...it's kept pretty pristine up there. You need to see it in person to see how it is actually being handled. I haven't been on the north slope myself but my husband has different times and says it is quite impressive and he hasn't seen such diliginence anywhere else. We are looking into solar panels and currently heat our home & hotwater with only wood. Everyone needs to start making changes for the greater good. Oil exploration won’t help fuel costs right now.

It's the natural instinct of governments to start investing at home when the international markets are destabilised. Hardly surprising for a Texan with serious interests in oil, either! So you're right, we need a complete paradigm shift away from fossil fuels. If the right people get behind it, maybe rising oil prices will turn out to be just the catalyst needed.
