Awww...they really just want to fund alternatives

Cute:

Similarly, America's vast offshore oil and gas reserves in the outer continental shelf remain mostly off-limits to exploration, but successful wells would provide revenue that could be used to fund development of alternative sources of energy for decades to come.

Strangely, we've been hearing a lot recently about how oil companies aren't necessarily run by CEOs who need to make a profit, but rather are in the hands of regular folks like you and me who just want to make the world a better place.

Drilling ANWR and the gulf is an inevitability. But it really ought to be done while simultaneously implementing both stricter CAFE standards and increasing the gasoline tax so that we get the most mileage from our resources.
