To Drill or Not to Drill
 |
Rapidly rising oil prices have revived the debate over domestic oil production, including the controversial issue of drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). In the July/August 2001 issue of Foreign Affairs, Amory and L. Hunter Lovins argued that drilling in ANWR was risky, unnecessary, and a distraction from the real energy debate. With gas prices exceeding $4 per gallon, Republican presidential candidate John McCain now favors domestic offshore oil drilling but remains committed to keeping ANWR off limits. President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and many Republican legislators have called for opening ANWR. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposes drilling offshore and in ANWR on the grounds that it would have little impact on gas prices.

Mugabe's Last Stand
May 8, 2008
On March 29, Zimbabweans voted in presidential and parliamentary elections. More than a month later, the government of Robert Mugabe released results of a "recount," showing a narrow opposition victory that fell short of the 50 percent required to avoid a runoff.
