The Senate defeated the ANWR drilling attached to the defense bill today by 4 votes and now has the bill in debate.
I know that this post will probably be moved, but it is a major environmental issue.

the vote for cloture in the senate failed today on the military appropriations bill, to which ANWR has been attached. ANWR drilling has not yet been defeated. Now it's up to the senate leadership to strip ANWR from the bill so that we can fund the troops.

I kind of agree that we should save it for later...when we'll really need it, and buy all the foreign oil they'll sell us until they stop or run out...then we're the ones sittin pretty on whats left in the ground. (I think frosty mentioned this it in another thread...) No point in despoiling nature till its absolutely neessary. I'm not convinced we're at that point yet by the arguments I've heard so far. It might give a good boost to the economy though...

Moxie, if I'm not mistaken, Maine's Senators weren't opposed and voted for the drilling in ANWR.

Don't feel bad, atleast they're not reptilian rubberstamps, and show some independence on occasion.

Too bad, I'm in favor of drilling in ANWR. I love being the dissenter!

But why though? I don't think we'll notice the effect on price. And the "we'll need it more later" argument makes sense to me, so what are the pros, in your opinion?

Looks like it's dead for now but the issue will return. Sen. Stevens called yesterday "the saddest moment of his life" He needs to get a life!

Isn't this the bill with the Katrina relief aid? We really need the help down here folks. We've still got people in tent cities on the Gulf Coast. I know we here on WB live in tents too, but it's by choice, not necessity. :sun

Nice try, but Zell Miller and John Breaux are no longer in the US Senate.

I emailed Bill Nelson and M Martinez asking them to vote no on the bill. Right before I came to this site today I emailed Nelson to thank him and Martinez to tell him to stop voting for ANWR drillng. He does everytime. He's a pal of george's.

"Sen. Stevens called yesterday "the saddest moment of his life" He needs to get a life!" ...funny, cookerhiker.

He had put the Arctic drilling on a earlier bill but that was voted down. I thought it was low and sneaky for him to try to attach it to the defense spending bill. What senator would want to vote against equipping our soldiers?

That looks like the same line-up that has voted for/against in the past. At best the arguments for exploiting ANWR haven't been candid. If the energy situation in the U.S. is dire enough to open ANWR, than it follows that it is dire enough to mandate significant conservation...starting with transportation fuel efficiency requirements. But we don't hear much from that side in Congress and the Administration.

Personally, I think a revenue-neutral carbon tax would do wonders to cut the demand for petro-fuels and help bring alternative energy to market. It'd lead to betterment of air quality and other environmental concerns as well as changing the balance of the national security requirements. If you want to really get politically spaced out, how 'bout getting rid of all current income and sales taxes and just tax BTUs?:bse If any individual or company wanted to avoid taxes or turn out a cheaper product they would be moved to conserve energy. Shhh...I'm a fiscal conservative...don't tell anyone I said that...;)

So, there I was, thinking about the problems of hammock camping in ANWR, innocently trying to stay on subject when I saw this "Do Not Reply" sign and my fingers started to itch...:p

Here's a current listing of every senator and how they voted.

MAKE SURE to thank your senator if they voted "no"!

The following is from the Natural Resources Defence Council web @ http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/arcticphotos/arcticvoters.asp

Senate Rejects Arctic Drilling!

On December 21, the U.S. Senate blocked drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by sustaining a filibuster of the Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 2863), which included an Arctic drilling provision. The pro-drilling forces needed 60 votes for “cloture” -- to break the filibuster of the bill -- but they could only muster 56. Below, please find information about how your Senators voted on the cloture motion. Remember: a NO vote was a vote to protect the Arctic Refuge. A YES vote was a vote to drill in the Refuge. [Please note: Senator Majority Frist voted NO for procedural reasons, not because he opposes drilling.]

Once this crucial vote proved that the bill could not pass with Arctic drilling included, the Senate formally voted 48-45 to remove the Arctic drilling language from the bill. In this second vote, some Senators who had not voted to support the filibuster -- Snowe (ME), Collins (ME), Akaka (HI), Inouye (HI), Coleman (MN), Smith (OR) and Specter (PA) -- voted in favor of removing the Arctic drilling language.

If your Senators voted NO on the cloture motion, please click on their names to send them a message of gratitude.

Moxie, if I'm not mistaken, Maine's Senators weren't opposed and voted for the drilling in ANWR.

Don't feel bad, atleast they're not reptilian rubberstamps, and show some independence on occasion.
In the final vote the two vestal virgins voted NO DRILLING , in pliminary votes I believe you are correct, When the final vote came both little beauties came around.:clap

You have to be careful about interpreting votes. Roberts Rules of Order (and Senate rules) allow matters to be revisited in certain cases if request is made by someone on the WINNING side of a vote.

Thus, my own disHonorable Senator Bill Frist voted "No" just for that purpose. What an unscrupulous fraud he is. Don't even get me started on his financial shenanigans.
