Some of the Environmental Restriction Movement Is Lunacy

Some comments on yuor op-ed are corrections to some incorrect information included in the piece. First there were oil spills as the result of huricane Katrina. In fact there was some residual oil in the area where John McCian was to hold a photo-op about offshore oil production, so he canceled the whole thing. The oil spilled from damaged oil rigs and pipelines riviled the Exon Valdeze spill. Second the is a test well in the Artic NAtional Wildlife Reserve it was completed by a Canadian firm that works in the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountain Region. The report from the test well lists the oil derived is high sulphur heavy crude typical of Eastern Slope region. This product will not be easily processed efficienty into gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, or fuel oil in any economical manner. Besides the Cheney-Bush Administration has deraied the Enviromental Protection Adminstration so as to make it ineffective anyway.
