24 Reasons to Really Support ANWR Yesterday, the House GOP leaders stated they would not include a provision to allow responsible oil exploration in the House Budget Reconciliation Bill soon to be debated in the House. A group of 24 self-described moderate Republicans, led by Rep. Charles Bass of New Hampshire, signed a letter stating they would not support the Budget Bill with an ANWR provision in it. Most of those Republicans are from the northeastern states. These moderates have gone against the House leadership and wishes of the Chairman of the House Resources Committee Richard Pombo (R-CA) who all support the ANWR provision. Also left out of the House bill was a provision to support Outer Continental Shelf gas exploration. The ANWR provision was passed last week in the Senate which has traditionally been the stumbling block for ANWR. The Senate ANWR provision prevailed 51-48 votes. It is considered by Senate leadership as a major provision in the bill. The Senate Budget Reconciliation Bill will be merged with the House version of the bill in Conference Committee and it is expected ANWR will be retained in the final bill. The Senate Resources Chairman Pete Dominici (R-NM) as well as Alaska Senators Stevens and Murkowski were adamant that the ANWR provision must in the final bill. The House is likely to vote on the Budget Reconciliation Bill this afternoon and the compromise language will come out of the joint Conference Committee probably sometime in December. These moderate republicans spent much of Wednesday threatening their leadership over the ANWR provision. All signed a letter copied below stating their opposition to ANWR. Looking at the home states of this breakaway group one sees a very typical pattern. Of the 14 states represented only 4 produce any oil or gas and the total production from those four states (NY, IL, PA, MI) is less than of 1% of the total US national production. This is counter to their petroleum consumption which totals over 236 million gallons of petroleum a day. As noted above it is interesting to note that the moderate- republicans mostly hail from Northeastern states. Heating oil is the number one resource used to heat homes in the Northeast. Hypocritically offshore eco-friendly wind farms projects have also famously been sued by NIMBYies in court in NE States leaving energy options slim with scant efficient use of solar and great opposition to nuclear and coal power. The irony comes in Northeastern Congressmens demands for billions of dollars of fuel oil subsidies to be handed out to survive their cold winters. As Tara Sweeney of Alaskas Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC) said at a recent press conference, Its 30 below zero in Kaktovik (ANWRs only community) today and these moderates - who are preventing my Inupiat Eskimos from using oil and gas on their own private lands in ANWR - are pleading for heating oil subsidies for their constituents in New England. Such actions are appalling and offensive to my people. The other states concerned, for example Minnesota - Rep. Ramstad and Kennedy -produces no oil or gas and yet heats 68% of its homes with natural gas. It consumes over 14.3 million gallons of petroleum a day as well as relying on imports to feed its two refineries. Similarly Rep. Sensenbrenners state of Wisconsin produces no oil or gas and yet consumes 14.4 million gallons of petroleum a day and relies on natural gas for 66% of its home heating fuel. Rep Dave Reicherts home state of Washington is a direct beneficiary of Alaskan Arctic Oil with nearly half of all Alaskan oil being refined in Washington and over $3,761,850,000 worth of investment having been made in Washington directly from oil development in the Arctic over the past 30 years.
