Answer 1

Every environmentalists is a hypocrite, you can tell that by there life stiles, some are bigger hypocrite's then others, they make money off of it to.

Answer 2

yes, but environmentalists never have argued in favor of importing oil, so your question is puzzling.

Answer 3

Absolutely.  That's one reason why we need to decrease our oil consumption by becoming more efficient and switching to alternative fuels.

Answer 4

Many don't own cars.  Most environmentalists I know bike or use public transportation.  The ones that do drive usually have the most efficient car they can afford, and advocate for real alternatives, from electric to biofuels.  

Finding more oil won't fix our problems, only delay them a short while.

Answer 5

The Democrats will block anything that might give some relief. They prefer that we buy our fuel from our Enemy...
