The problem is that in our OH SO sensative society today if you are on the side of lets drill for oil in ANWR then you are perpetuating the huge oil company profits and are anti-alternative fuels thus pro Earths ultimate destruction. If you take the position of looking for an alternative fuel source you are a tree hugging ELF sympathizer. No matter what idea someone comes up with to try and help solve the enegry crisis we face in America, there always going to be someone claiming they are offended by the idea and that it will never work and blah blah blah. Its SUCH a pesimistic society today that it all becomes that self-fullfilling prophecy and we end up right back at square one.
