Senate Votes to Allow Drilling in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge March 16, 2005 Well, this certainly has been a busy news day. The Senate voted 51-49 to allow drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, despite efforts by John Kerry, John McCain, Democrats and moderate Republicans' efforts to stop the measure being attached to the current budget bill. So, if the budget passes congress, there will be drilling by the end of the year--something that the oil companies have been campaigning for for twenty years now. Even they admit that the oil found will have no effect on current prices or supplies, since it will be at least ten years before we see one drop of oil. Of course, ANWR will be destroyed by then. Anyone who says differently has never seen a major oilfield up close during and after production, and doesn't know a thing about the oil business.
