He’s a Muslim, easiest explanation. The Mid East doesn’t want still more oil under private corporate control available.
ANILCA contains a “no more clause” which stated no more than 5000 acres can be declared wilderness in the state without Congressional approval. The coastal plain of ANWR is 1.5million acres. The USFWS has claimed the 10-02 does not fall under the clause because by inclusion in ANWR it already takes the land out of public domain and thus is not applicable to ANILCA. The State claims the wording and intent of the law are plain and simple, no new wilderness. ANILCA states the coastal plain must be held in a state ready to be included as wilderness land should Congress decide not to allow exploration. Given the 15 successful votes by Congress in favor of development it should be clear the view is decidedly against wilderness designation.
The USFWS CCP decision on wilderness also violates the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in that any study or declaration of wilderness must consider all alternative land uses. The CCP deliberately leaves out oil and gas exploration as a potential land use which is ironic considering the definition of the Coastal Plain under ANILCA is an area set aside for the study of oil and gas exploration potential. The State has maintained this study was a breach of NEPA since it was first proposed in 2010.

Bathhouse Barry is just being himself...juvenile. Bibi comes to speak per invitation and because the arrogant, little petulant boy king wasn’t involved, he stomps his feet, pouts,
and runs amok. TYPICALLY.
it’s good to be king
Let’s see... what can I do today to further destroy America?
Obama will lockup ANWR to help his OPEC buddies and maybe get a nice retirement fund
