We shouldn't drill where people live, and we shouldn't drill where they don't. Windmills will supply all the power we need. /s

You scared me there for a minute :)

Cue the alarms and hair pulling and gnashing of teeth.

Alaska is forever ruined.

Just like Texas it will be a wasteland /s

I’m sure PLENTY of protective laws are put in place already.

Question, and this is a serious question, not just joking around:

How much environmental damage was done by the Alaska pipeline, the one built in the late ‘60s into the ‘70s? As I recall many environment safeguards were built into the construction and operations of that pipeline.

Wouldn’t the same environmental protection be part of any new oil drilling in Alaska?

How can they say Alaska faces all this environment danger, when the pipeline was designed to minimize impacts to the environment?

The old gray whore is a perpetual pain in the ass. She should be more interested in the failings at home, in her own back yard.

ANWR in the summer is beautiful, if you like mosquitoes and no-see-ums in huge numbers.

Anyone shocked to read this crap? If so, go stand in the corner with a Dunce Cap on.

Wait for the stories of the great benefits of the virgin tundra.

I think the only word these extremists know is the word “pristine.”

NY Times. Leftist elite turds. Shut up! Alaskans by and large want JOBS! Sure, the natives themselves are split about it, but those native tribes that like jobs, are extremely well off compared to the regressive tribes.

The biggest concern voiced by the Enviro-Nazis was over restricting the breeding grounds of the Caribou.

Wrong as usual, the Caribou are multiplying like never before since the pipelines provide warmth and cover.

Next article should be “Caribou population explosion endangers ....”
