The U.S. should allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The area they are talking about drilling in is on the coastal plain, not that far from Prudhoe Bay.

Racism was not a factor whatsoever in the government's response to Katrina. More blame should have been placed on the Mayor and Governor. The recent Midwest floods are examples of how communities can work together before, during, and after a natural disaster.

The U.S. government should not increase the national gas mileage standard. They have been increased in the past but never really met. Its a feel good remedy to a bigger problem of not being self reliant for our own natural resources.

The U.S. should not have signed the Kyoto Treaty.

Congress should lift the ban on offshore oil drilling.

There is not a link between global warming and the rising intensity of natural disasters.

The U.S. should expand oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Yes,but I would include ANWR and shale.
