Air pollution laws have a positive effect on the economy. Air pollution has a negative effect on our ability to BREATHE!

Congress should lift the ban on offshore oil drilling.

Prior to Katrina, local and federal authorities knew the breaching of the levees was possible. People at all levels were taking a kind of risk management approach. Monies that were allocated by the Federal Government to maintain the levees and equipment were siphoned off and used for other things by the state and local authorities. In hind sight,

The U.S. should expand oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Expanded ethanol production will have a negative effect on the economy.

The federal government should not release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

It is inconclusive to say there is a link between global warming and the rising intensity of natural disasters.

Al Gore should not win the Nobel Peace Prize. Being a mouthpiece for a political movement does not qualify someone for the prize. If he participated in the discovery of actual scientific proof of the global warming theory, then he might be eligible.

The U.S. should permit commercial logging in national forests. If properly managed, our forrests will be there for generations to come. By leaving them untouched, we risk the chance of loosing them to many different thngs.

The U.S. should allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). But not right now. We need to siphon off as much oil as possible from other parts of the world before we start using our own. Allow the greed and short sightedness of the Arabs to play itself out.

The U.S. government should provide incentives for manufacturers to build fuel-efficient cars. Fossil fuel use (or abuse) is a national and internation crisis. Like any other problem that threatens our nation, our government should aid in solving it.

Global warming is not a problem primarily caused by humans; there is no conclusive evidence that the Earth is warming unnaturally.
