Let the $$$$ start flowing. Looks like after some shed lib tears, a few fruitless lawsuits and couple of dead caribou later the drilling will finally be a go. Let's just hope that it's as big or bigger than they say it will be. MAGA.
They buried that in the tax bill? God knows what other additions and pork was inserted in that thing.
ANWR encompasses 19 MILLION acres, which is roughly 5 1/2 times the area of the state of Connecticut. They are talking about drilling on a maximum of 2000 acres, or .01% of it. And the area they are looking to develop is the barren plain near the Arctic Ocean, not the pretty mountains the LWNJs like to show. This has overwhelming support of the people of Alaska. With 99.99% of ANWR untouched, liberals will have plenty of icecubes left.
It's just a shame that liberals are unable to ever tell the truth about any issue. I have to wonder if they are ignorant or just deceitful.
You don't know what you're talking about. It's the calving area for the Porcupine caribou herd. It's important to migratory birds. This isn't about scenic spots for tourists. It's a wildlife refuge. The impact to the wildlife and their habitat is the issue. Same reason large portions of the Everglades were protected. For wildlife not simply scenery for snapshots.
The Dems always argue in extremes. There will be little to no environmental impact, and it there is the oil companies will be made to FIX IT! As they should.

Oh..... just like how they fully paid for the Deepwater Horizon accident?

Don't be naive.

On April 4, 2016, the court approved a settlement with BP for natural resource injuries stemming from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This settlement concludes the largest natural resource damage assessment ever undertaken. We will now begin implementing restoration as laid out in the Trustees' comprehensive restoration plan. Under this settlement, BP will pay the Trustees up to $8.8 billion for restoration to address natural resources injuries and lost recreational uses.
You were saying? Wasn't that during the Obama Admin?
