Have any of you ever been to the North Slope? Or are you saying no because of what you have heard from media?
My whole family works on the Alaska Pipeline....I have been there and they have been there since the 1970's. As anything we are in the way of all wild life...EVERYWHERE. The roads, the new houses that are being built.....our neighborhoods and cities are far more dirty than one square foot of the "North Slope"......
They put so much energy into not bothering and not making too much of an impact on the environment and wildlife I find it incredible what they have accomplished.
I understand that to build something so big, we of course are gonna be a bother......I didnt see you all putting up a stink when you wanted to cut down that tree and put YOUR house in that birds homeland????
I say Drill and be very careful, as we have the smarts and love to do that. Drillers and environmentalists need to come together and figure out the best way to do that.

N0help4u agrees: EXCELLENT POINT multimillion dollar subdivisions are being built ALL over the USA and nobody voices concerns about that!

Yeah like NOW two years later.
As startingover says a lot of what the politically correct and environmentalists say is just a bunch of hype to get their own way. And look at how Al Gore is turning 'Global Warming' into a get rich type scam because the public is buying it hook, line and sinker.

Well my immediate concern for this week is the PC environmentalists are getting 4th of July canceled in various communities because *it surprises the birds*
