Rep. Ralph Hall R-Texas, just spoke on Cspan. He said that the energy bill being passed by the House is necessary to stop wars for oil!
He directly stated that drilling in ANWR could keep us from sending our young people to war for oil.
He said it is better to have his grandkids asking, "Where will I go to school." instead of "Which branch of the service must I go into."
I've never heard this stated so boldly. Fighting for oil, and these guys will not even consider any other energy sources.
