As oil production goes into declines no one could deny, it is a certainty the ANWR will be developed. So why not get serious investment in alternative energies and efficiency as the price for ANWR?

As long as they are linked, this is worth doing.

I have long proposed some sort of compromise, that reduced drilling restrictions be linked to serious efforts in conservation and alternate energy. There are of course two ways of obtaining linkage. The most obvious is the earmarking of royalties from ANWR and such to renewables and efficiency etc. The second is legislative tit-for-tat. We need both.
