Well considering the decision to drill in Alaska hasn't been made yet, and
has failed every time so far that Congress has tried to pass it, I think
you're jumping the gun on this one. I'd say that the U.S. is at worst split
down the middle over the issue (at least between those people who have an
opinion) and I actually think that more Americans are against drilling than
are for it. Unfortunately with the recent election results, the chances of
drilling being authorized have gone way up.
