"Congress has got to wake up! Drilling in the Arctic will not affect our gas prices…American ingenuity can find a solution to our oil dependency. America needs to invest in our future again…Investing in a new way to move people, to heat and cool our homes and run our businesses while protecting special places like the Arctic from irreversible destruction is the greatest challenge and most precious gift to pass on to our children."

"Give it a rest. How many times and ways can some members of Congress push the proposal to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?"

"What we don't need is to temporarily rig the ticket prices on the petroleum roller coaster. To the best of our ability, we need to get the heck off it."

"Unfortunately, even if we took conservation seriously starting today, it would have little or no effect on prices this year or next. That, in fact, is the best reason to start now. We have a tendency to react decisively to crisis and not a moment sooner. Instead of floating popular quick fixes, our politicians should be taking advantage of the situation to start a real debate about our long-term energy policies."

" As the U.S. Senate prepares to recess for the holidays, Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens vows to get drilling in the [Arctic] National Wildlife Refuge approved any way he can.  CONCLUSION: He has threatened to attach the provision to the Hurricane Katrina relief bill or to the defense appropriations bill, a cynical ploy other senators should reject."

"Washington must shift the debate over energy independence away from the status quo. It must develop incentives for energy conservation and for alternative, cleaner technologies. By wallowing in ANWR, members of Congress are wasting important political capital and an opportunity for genuine leadership."
