  Comment: no compromise: It is useful to point out here that no-one knows how much oil is in the Arctic region either. You do not. Neither do the enviros. Oil companies can only estimate based upon Point Barrow fields which have generated around 30 billion barrels since 1976. It must be stressed that solar panels require the use of heavy metals and chemicals in their manufacture. Where would the millions of gallons/tons of metal byproduct go after its discard when used by so many homes? If in doubt about cost,the City of Austin Texas Public Works Dept.will illiminate. This is the most liberal city in that state and it averages a subsidy of 22,000$ for 60,000$ spent upon solar panels for 3000 sf homes which is in line with AAM cost estimates nationwide. Then too,you cannot create new forms of energy in an energy vaccum. It would take decades to bring such alternatives on line to the point where they would have any effect whatever. Will Americans wait this long? No way.[And neither will the economy].

  Comment: To HELPPOLARBEARS5:
  
  You need to do your homework on Polar Bear Habitat and population. The population has actually been increasing. If you list the polar bear on the ESL, you affect the entire polar bear population. And you take the ability of a country like Canada to manage their population. You write uneducated nonsense.
  
  You sound like another liberal on another uneducated diatribe on another subject you don't understand.
