1. Thanks for the post. Will be spreading this info around.

[hiley]

3. good

thanks the diary is pretty interesting.

6. Makes sense...gives hope

from the link:

Worst-case scenario--the budget passes both houses with a provision to open the Arctic Wildlife Refuge for drilling. Then we take it to the corporations. BP and ConocoPhillips, while not model corporate citizens, have renounced their desire to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. We can support them by only buying gas from them and their subsidiaries, while boycotting ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco, the satan-spawn corporations behind this administration and drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. We can hit them where it hurts. A majority of Americans oppose drilling the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and we can get many of them to boycott the soulless Houston motherfuckers who are behind this bullshit.

7. Action from WWF

As your constituent and someone concerned about safeguarding our country's irreplaceable natural heritage, I urge you to cosponsor legislation to designate the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as wilderness (S. 261 and H.R. 567). If you have already cosponsored the wilderness bill, thank you for joining 23 senators and 115 representatives in recognizing the value of protecting this magnificent place.

I also urge you to oppose any effort to open the refuge to oil and gas development. Specifically, please oppose including Arctic drilling language in the fiscal year 2006 budget bill.

12. Tell your Senators to vote no on any budget

that includes these wildlife refuge drilling provisions.

[Lauren2882]

13. Tried to vote in poll...

... but got this message: "Our web servers cannot find the page or file you asked for.
The link you followed may be broken or expired."

Damn electronic voting. :D

[hiley]

14. Poll may have

expired but it worked when I tried it again but to late to edit thread, sorry.
BTW, since here

Hawaiian officials posted Homeland Security report, says not marked Confidential. Chertoff says a mistake but was it a mistake or do you think like I do that Bush & Co. are just using it for Fear Tactics ?

US plans for plague, flu and nuclear bomb attack
From Roland Watson in Washington

A NUCLEAR bomb in a big city, plague released into an airport washroom and food stocks laced with anthrax are three of fifteen doomsday scenarios inadvertently published by American security chiefs yesterday.

15. Good ideas!

I am definitely looking as close as possible to where I'm buying my gas. My closest stations are Citgo and Hess and I am trying to see where they stand on drilling in refuge areas. Does anyone know?

[hiley]

16. dusty64

I am trying to find out about Citgo and Hess.
We have to fight the budget.

From Lorax's diary below:

Worst-case scenario--the budget passes both houses with a provision to open the Arctic Wildlife Refuge for drilling. Then we take it to the corporations. BP and ConocoPhillips, while not model corporate citizens, have renounced their desire to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. We can support them by only buying gas from them and their subsidiaries, while boycotting ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco, the satan-spawn corporations behind this administration and drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. We can hit them where it hurts. A majority of Americans oppose drilling the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and we can get many of them to boycott the soulless Houston motherfuckers who are behind this bullshit.
Boycott update: Call these two corporations and tell them you refuse to buy their gas until they promise not to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

ExxonMobil: [phone]

ChevronTexaco: [phone]
___________________________________________________________________
Call these two corporations and thank them for refusing to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. Inform them that they will benefit from your boycott of ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco.

BP: [phone] and [phone]

:hi: Update on BP from MD patriot at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/3/16/143634/267
BP is all for drilling!
According to the Defenders of Wildlife,
http://www.defenders.org/wildlife/arctic/overview.html
Please write to BP-Amoco, the huge multinational conglomerate leading the charge to drill in the refuge, and the other Big Oil companies. BP Amoco (which recently merged with Arco) and Phillips Petroleum Company control about 80% of the oil production in the Arctic region. Let them know you don't want the refuge desecrated by drilling. Take Action Now
And from OLinda
But, they may drill.
"We took the decision to withdraw from the ANWR lobbying organization Arctic Power in 2002 and are no longer a participant in the ANWR debate. We have taken the view that it is up to the people and the US government to decide whether drilling should occur there. If drilling is authorized, we will then decide whether to bid on the acreage on offer, and explore the 92,000 coastal plain acres the company already has under lease. A decision to drill would be contingent on a determination that the area is competitive with other opportunities in the company's global exploration portfolio and can be explored and developed without adverse impact to wildlife."

This diary at dkos is chalked absolutely full with
information about other fuels and energy even Cheney and Halliburton,energy saving tips.
For DUers that have to work and don't have time I am putting in some more links for reference from dKos and others.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use 66% less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and last up to 10 times longer. Replacing a 100-watt incandescent with a 32-watt CFL can save you at least $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.
http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls
Hydrogen
There are two possible sources for the hydrogen:

Electrolysis of water - Using electricity, it is easy to split water molecules to create pure hydrogen and oxygen. One big advantage of this process is that you can do it anywhere. For example, you could have a box in your garage producing hydrogen from tap water, and you could fuel your car with that hydrogen.

Reforming fossil fuels - Oil and natural gas contain hydrocarbons -- molecules consisting of hydrogen and carbon. Using a device called a fuel processor or a reformer, you can split the hydrogen off the carbon in a hydrocarbon relatively easily and then use the hydrogen. You discard the leftover carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

17. Citgo

Sorry dusty64, I don't know the answer yet, was very busy yesterday. Just didn't want you to think I had forgotten about you. [e-mail] is the email address.
Here is email sent to Citgo:

Today I am writing with concern over the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. People have asked if Citgo approves of the drilling of the pristine refuge in Alaska. I don't know the answer to this question and need information on what your policies might be on this issue. As Citgo probably knows already many thousands of Americans are opposed to drilling in the National Refuge.

Looking forward to learning your position on this important issue.

Updated with excerpt from Senator Barbara Boxer.


snip---------
I'm planning to organize a consumer boycott of any oil company that decides to drill in this pristine Alaskan wilderness area. If, through our pocketbooks, we can convince these companies to do the right thing, we can still save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from the destruction that would be wrought by the oil drilling rigs.

Send an email to the CEOs of ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, Royal Dutch/Shell, and ChevronTexaco now and tell them to stay out of ANWR!

This battle is not over -- not by a long shot.

18. Hess

[e-mail]

The drilling planned in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has citizens very concerned and refusing to accept this.
What position does Hess have on this issue ?
For years President Bush has been pushing for drilling in this pristine National Wildlife Refuge at this same time Environmentalists have been expressing disdain for this action.
Senator Barbara Boxer has taken a strong stand on this issue and I am including excert of this below.

Looking forward to your response.

Then included same info from Senator Boxer's web page.:hi:

[dusty64]

20. Thanks a lot.

[hiley]

21. Sure

anytime I can help, will try.

[cestpaspossible]

19. We will not stop fighting!

[hiley]

22. That is right

The RW nut's think they can over run us and keep us down.
All that does
is make us fight harder
and grow in numbers.
