Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Alaska is a beautiful state with millions of unspoiled acres of natural beauty. Millions of lakes, hundreds of thousands of glaciers and mountains, both named and unnamed, are a thing of beauty to observe. In the attached map of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, only a bit over 3 square miles of land (tiny red box) is proposed for oil drilling. BTW, the Russians are considering drilling in the Arctic too. Somebody will get the oil that is there.
I have seen sections of the pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez and, after 30 years, it still seems to work pretty darn well.
We need oil in the USA a lot more than we need this small 2000 acre plot of tundra north of the Arctic circle IMHO. Take your pick, Mid-East oil or Alaska Oil?
