The U.S. Military spends mega millions every year trying to clean up along the old Dew Line in Ak, all the contamination that is there from years of unkowingness, from ignorance or perahsp not wanting or caring TO KNOW! <BR/>Take a look at all the information about the TarSands in Alberta Canada and do a TOTAL rethink about Anwar. Do we really believe there will be no ecological damage, that animals and people can exist in that environment or do we want to not KNOW or even admit what we know! Is it that we do not care about the Native inhabitants in AK just as we have shown we care little for people of colour in our world! This kind of insanity needs to STOP- we live on a ball out in space and eventually this sphere will toss us all off because it will be so poisened!

Either we are hearing from the pro-drilling side who gives us all sorts of info and stats saying why it is a great idea, or else we are hearing something completely different from the environmentalists. It would certainly help us make a more informed decision if we knew what the real facts were.Eric Ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345721212538060888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529580665294663953.post-13964383834300952772008-05-22T08:27:00.000-07:002008-05-22T08:27:00.000-07:00I have the same internal debate.

Your post mentioned an enormous supply of oil in the area. I've read differently. Most likely, my readings are slanted toward the opponents' side. (Probably the case, as most of my knowledge on the issue has come from outdoor pubs and national park initiatives.) Your point about the lag time between drilling and marketability is a very valid one. It's going to take razor-sharp foresight on the part of the officials to nail down the timing. Still, we'll always need alternative sources of fuel even with an abundant oil supply. Like you, it seems I need more information. And in the end, I think that means it's not ready to be presented to the American people yet.Craig C. Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045821094415678167noreply@blogger.com
