Feingold and Bayh vote for interesting amendment

We already pay for our own projects since we get back far less money from the feds than we send there. Why should we be subsidizing you ungrateful bastards? You guys could pay for it with your oil money. As for here in California, we're paying for a bridge that could cost $10 billion, by ourselves, no whining for handouts from the feds.

Ungrateful bastards?! Over 20% of your oil comes from us, yet one of your senators has been the leading voice in keeping ANWR closed. Speaking of that oil field, don't you think if it were opened, oil revenue would increase, dramatically?

I still fail to see how my state's economic policies and $450 million in federal money makes life miserable for everyone else.

The ANWR isn't a real solution to our energy problems. It will give the US only another few months of oil. We need to research alternative energy.

Your state has far more than $450 million in pork. In 2000, the average Republican Congressinal district had $600 million more in spending than the average Democratic Congressional district. It's probably much worse now.

Odd. I heard it was like 30 years. Hopefully we'll finally get it this year. Isn't hydrogen power the main focus of alternative energy?

I didn't know that. I wonder if it'll be like that much longer.

30 years from ANWR? LOL!!!!!!! What a joke. 95% of the nothern shore of Alaska is already open for drilling. If you mean hydrogen fuel cells, they're not an energy source.

It probably isn't, I'm guessing the difference is greater now.

Hydrogen fuel cells

Fuel cells are a form of chemical battery that uses a chemical reaction to produce electricity.

Yes, Fuel cells are not an energy source, but Hydrogen is.  Fuel cells are the vehicle to convert Hydrogen into electricity.
