Letter: America needs Alaska drilling
Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2001 | 9:27 a.m.
Does it make any sense to prohibit drilling in a remote, barren corner of Alaska that maybe one in 50,000 Americans will ever visit? Only if you yearn to go back to the horse and buggy! Or to a time more primitive.
Such crusades by self-appointed "guardians of the environment" and their allies in government are big factors in raising energy costs and creating shortages. Common sense can keep America at full power!
