Ping.
Polar bears are hardly endangered.
My senator said we’ll be drilling in a small area.
Putin is not a happy man....tsk tsk......
I hear there’s more oil that the Earth will ever need, just 500 yards off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. [sarc.]

Your senator is correct. They can send those bore lines a long ways horizontal. AND, they tell me that they have to stay within a 3 foot target all the way. They cant simply send that bore anywhere they see fit.
Thats how good they are now.
They buried Fat dead Kennedy off the coast there?
I remember during the Bushes, this would be on the front page half the time for two weeks as the effort was made to pass it, only to see it shot down each time. Trump is flooding the zone with so many receivers that coverage gets stuck on Page A17 and maybe a special feature on NPR’s “All Things Considered”.
BOOM! The Eco wacko map of drilling ANWR would portray nearly all of Alaska with oil wells everyplace instead of the minuscule parcel it actually is. Fidiots!
ANWR’s 1002 Area
The 1.5 million acre area set aside was named the “1002 Area,” and is located on Alaska’s North Slope. Stretching for hundreds of miles, the North Slope drops from mountain ridges and foothills to a coastal plain that is frozen most months of the year. Oil and gas production in the 1002 Area would be limited to only 2,000 acres; 0.01% of ANWR’s total area.
The 1002 Area is not designated as wilderness; there are no trees, deepwater lakes, or mountain peaks
Winter temperatures are often as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit
It is without sunlight for 56 days of the year

ANWAR is more than 19 million acres. Exploration area is less than 1.5 million
The Last Alaskans will now have some new neighbors.
I don’t care if they have to drill through a caribou’s head — GET THAT OIL!
But there are hoards of endangered no-seeums, mosquitoes, and black flies? What about them? They got rights too, you know.

I like that show. Hope they do a new season this year. Is Bob still alive?
Most of Anwar is as remote and lifeless as the moon. This is the safest, most uninhabitable and remotest place on earth. It does not support wildlife and is environmentally a net zero. The fact that enviro Marxists have kept it out of production for 50 years is proof positive that Russia and China have infiltrated our government and are in control of the leftist culture.
“Moreover, Houseknecht said the 1002 area has other advantages. The oil potential lies on shore — potentially an easier target than more technically complicated and expensive drilling in the Arctic Ocean. Alaska is also in a politically stable country. Those are big pluses for the oil industry. Houseknecht noted there aren’t many other places on the planet like that.”
