In the arctic North Slope, Alaska, heavy loads including drill rigs can only be moved around during the winter ice season when the weight bearing capabilities are high. You can not move a rig to a new area to explore drilling except in the winter.
The winters have become overburden with traffic trying to move in equipment and years supply of chemicals and the like to some sites.
Why would you introduce facts and reality into a liberal conversation assigning evil motives to oil companies?
