Reply #34: Instead of spoiling more of our environment, for jobs [View All]

[EC]

why not clean up the messes made that is causing the loss of jobs already up there. My Aunt lives up there and said most rely on fish (seafood industry) and that the ocean is so bad their dying off. And the commercial fish farms are making really hard for the independent and small fisheries. And the fur trade, I still don't know where I stand on that, because I really believe in wearing natural instead of synthetic and furs are the most natural, still I hate the killing and the way they kill, I especially don't like the baby seal hunts, so I really don't wear it. Since they are so close to the East, they would make a really good trade center, for shipping. Again, here the automation of the industry has cut so many of these jobs. They also have an Aerospace Development Center there. As in every state, they should start on bringing back industry, we can't import everything forever...finacing small industry ventures and better clean-up and prevention of oil-spills and other pollution would be better methods of employment. Instead, everything is being so consolidated that every Industry is getting to the point where the little guy is fighting their "Wal-mart" and until all of us decide that for a few bucks more, we'll support the little guy, it'll just get more and more consolidated. This includes financing of new alternative energy industries and tax rebates or cuts for installing alternative energy devices in homes, or buying hybrid cars(instead of giving $25,000 deduction for the heaviest vehicles ). He's just doing things ass-backwards...ANWR is a reserve, meaning it should be saved until absolutely needed.
