authors note : in alaska they have a place just for the wild life no drilling onr anything well that is about to change lets stop it while we can.
If the United States has a problem with oil availability, why shouldn't we take advantage of all our options? We could drill or we could save the wildlife I believe we should not drill.
A recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) assessment says there is "considerable uncertainty regarding both the size and quality of the oil resources that exist in ANWR." Even if 7.7 billion barrels a day could be recovered (as estimated in one government study), "the current upper limit to ANWR oil production is the transportation capacity of TAPS" (Trans Alaska Pipeline System), or 2.136 million barrels per day. To put this in context, the U.S. burns 21 million barrels per day.
There is not enough oil in Alaska to solve the problem. There is so much more oil in OPEC nations that they need only tweak supply to wipe out any price savings from the small increase in supply that drilling in ANWR would produce. ANWR isn't our only option for domestic drilling. There are millions of acres already open to drilling where oil companies have not yet explored. As my Mom used to say, finish what's on your plate before you ask for seconds
The unemployment rate of the us is raising daily it isn’t good but even though it would create more jobs the economy is still going downhill no matter what don’t waste all of this money and say it will lower gas prices when it won’t.
Not only will this affect the economy it will also affect the wild life without taking into account changes in the Arctic brought on by global warming, and the agency proposed
insufficient protections for polar bears, walrus, whales, and other species that could be harmed by drilling rigs or spills,
The number one thing to worry about is how it will affect us the people we need oil for our regular day lives but if it costs too much
people will stop using cars and then car companies will go out of business people will lose more jobs causing the unemployment rate to skyrocket through the ceiling and the average person doesn’t want to lose their job so
I think it is a no brainer we should not drill in Alaska .
