Preserve the wilderness

Three cheers for the US senate, which has blocked a plan to allow drilling and exploration for oil in Alaska. Wildlife and the environment are just as important. The republicans may claim that it is essential to find new sources, but perhaps it is time for the US to stop wasting so much of the worlds natural resources and wake up to the fact that it is NOT necessary to drive huge cars everywhere, and it is about time they paid a fair price for their oil like the rest of us.
