Since it's pretty late in the day, I figure most will miss this, but ... ...

I came across this opinion piece today about Fort Worth, Texas, talking about fossil fuel in the ground there and how it's extraction is done without upsetting the city.

Oklahoma City is like that - they used to have a functioning oil well under the state capitol building. Even now, go to the northern Los Angeles / Hollywood / Beverly Hills area of California and look around. Other than the petroleum bubbling up naturally around the area of Rancho La Brea, you wouldn't know that some of the buildings around you were just empty shells covering wells.

Since the existing oil pipeline was put in place years ago, it has withstood everything nature can throw at it. Even the caribou there know that if they're near the pipe, they're safe from humans. Several herds have taken advantage of this for their birthing grounds during their migration over the Brooks Range.

So the Green Weenies think ANWR will be ruined? These are the same brain farts who discovered that clean air was bad for global warming, since it lets all that heat in!

The worst eco-crime in history took place over ten years ago and the Greens ignored it! They F'kin Ignored It! Over 700 oil wells blown open by Saddam and the silence from Greenpeace wan f'kin deafening.
