Big deal! According to USGS The North Slope of Alaska has total reserves of 15 billion barrels of oil. About 2 days worth at current US consumption rates.
Hardly worth arguing about.

He has a valid point about the oil spills however. And remember that ecosystems are pretty delicate. If the pipeline alters the migratory pattern of the wildlife, it can have far reaching effects elsewhere.

Also remember what you THINK is a barren wasteland is usually full of life you can’t actually SEE! You think because it looks like a wasteland, it’s not as important as the rest of the refuge. Do you have a degree to know all the habits of the wildlife in the area?

I’ll agree that environmentalists go off half cocked a lot of the time. The seal hunts in newfoundland and labrador being a prime example (what the hell stupid hunter would CLUB a baby seal to death as visciously as PETA and Greenpeace have said happens? it’s staining and ruining the fur, which is a valuable freaking thing!). Don’t make yourself as bad as them. Present something a bit more concrete than what you have, then I’ll be more apt to side with you.

I posted this as well and forwarded the email to my email buds…the masses need to see these pics and see for themselves that the ANWR drilling brouhaha is completely bogus.

Eva i see you are a “believer”. Man-made Global Warming is a theory only. It is not proven fact. You do realize the world has been warmer and cooler than it is now? It has been warmer at times prior to man’s existance. Tell me who was using oil then. Nice straw man argument with the toxin statement. You bring it up and obviously are just throwing crap out there hoping it will stick. When gas gets to 5 bucks America will stand up and we will drill. I am betting you did not check out the entire post. I am right aren’t I ?

How many oil spills occur in the area & will occur if there is drilling on the coast ? We can’t forget that the production/use of oil is a cause of global warming. Also, who knows what kind of toxins are in the animals that live there.
