Normally the biggest danger to caribou is they get killed by wolves

this just another way to demonize oil companies?
WHOOOOOSH.......

So, let me get this straight. Because nature is what it is, and yes,
wolves eat caribou, you think that we should do anything and

The real point is why do you think a couple hundred acres in a 19
million square mile refuge is going to seriously affect caribou in any
way at all?
We cut roads through the middle of national parks all over the country

Okay, I just don't understand, so please help me. Why does it seem to me
that you and other conservatives don't want anything to do with creating
and building new technologies and instead just want to keep using fossil
fuels? It appears to me that if you all had your way, we'd still be
using technology that damned near ruined areas of the United States
until we got the pollution under control.

Is nuclear energy based on fossil fuels?

Loogy, you are sounding more and more flaky. You put words in the

So as a man who studies this type of thing in much more depth than
I,
what do you think of our "significant" number of BOEs as compared
to all
other countries with the exception of Russia?
Noted that the vast majority of our reserves are in coal.
Two things come immediately to mind.
One - we need to make more use of the proven coal reserves up to and
including gasification, liquification and burning. We need to work
on
clean coal technology and CO2 sequestration by allowing more pilot
plants and research into various techniques. That's where we seem to
be failing miserably.
A recent example is what's happened in Lindon, NJ. I forget the
company, but they wanted to build a 750 megawatt coal fired station,
sequester the CO2 by pumping it offshore into a salt dome where it
woud stay permanently locked up. The technology is available now and
it seems like a good concept. Unfortunetly, the Enviromentalists are
creating havoc with the plan to the point where it probably will be
abandoned thus losing the facility and needed power generation.
Two - we need to start exploring and drilling off on our own to see
what may, or may not, be easily accessible onshore, inshore and
offshore. There are some areas off New Jersey and California that
appear to have the correct geological formations (domes, salt domes
and such) to contain easily recoverable oil - some think the equal
of
all that Arabian Peninsula has ever contained, but we aren't allowed
to drill for various reasons - mostly political. And it's not like
new
discoveries are impossible - consider Brazil's Guari and Tupi fields
which are recent discoveries - it's out there, we just have to find
it.
Here's a list for you to consider - the amount of fossil fuel needed
to produce 1,000,000 BTUs.
Natural Gas: 1,000 cubic feet
Coal: 83.34 pounds @ 12,000 Btu/pound
Propane: 10.917 gallons @ 91,000 Btu/gallon
Gasoline: 8.0 gallons @125,000 Btu/gallon
Fuel Oil #2: 7.194 gallons @ 139,000 Btu/gallon
Fuel Oil #6: 6.67 gallons @ 150,000 Btu/gallon
You'd need a lot of wind farms and solar panels to produce similar
results to fossil fuels.
Nice summary....we have some work to do, particularly on the political
front.
What cracks me up is the idea that a 100 by 100 foot fenced off area for
drilling might hurt migrating animals, but 40 acres of solar panels is
just fine...

If a fence is put across a migration route, that's totally different

Solar arrays do their best in the desert, where there's lots of
sunshine. They also need water for cooling, which is not all that
plentiful in the desert.

Hetch Hetchy dam, but the valley was known as Little Yosemite Valley.
One of our favorite lakes is Cherry Lake which is not very far away as
the crow flys, but a long way by road. One of the Hetch Hetchy system
lakes.

So, do you think we should do the same to Yosemite? After all, it's just
got natural beauty going for it.

SF should never have been allowed to put up the Hetch Hetchy dam. There
were proposals to dam Yosemite Valley also. But there is a heck of a
difference in a small area in a populated area being preserved as opposed to
20 million acres. That is larger than several of the states. ANWR is about
the size of South Carolina.
