I've Looked at the Gang of Ten

. . . from both sides, now.

Ace is probably right on this one: there are segments along the beaches of California that have remarkable potential, and we do have a bit of an infrastructure here, as well.

Bottom line: We can't take the Pacific coast off the table, and we shouldn't be taking ANWR off, either: it's got production potential similar to that of the Gulf, and with a smaller footprint in terms of acreage that would be affected.

On the other hand, aggressive nuclear development and mandated flex-fuel cars are also super-important. It could be that the difference is in the fine print: could the Pacific Coast and/or ANWR be re-debated at a later point, or is the language in the GoT version (and the DontGo version, for that matter), iron-clad?

1 On the one hand, of course I'm against aggression and invasion and kerfluffle of all sorts. On the other hand, nations and tribes have been taking territory from each other for thousands of years, and it's hard to imagine that suddenly, at the beginning of the 21st century, that's all going to stop and the maps will remain unchanged forever. This doesn't justify any individual act of incursion, for whatever motives. I'm just trying to take the long view.
