Since you are not an Alaska resident you probably don't know this. There is a LOT of attention and care regarding exactly where and how drilling is to be done at ANWR in order not to create a big dirty footprint. Alaskans are far more environmentally concerned that people in the Lower 48 realize. For example, only environmentally friendly products can be used on our roads to keep them safe to drive (unlike Massachusetts, for example, where so many chemicals are put on the roads that it practically makes you faint to drive them in the winter). Even windshield washing products are watched carefully. We eat the living things in our environment ourselves, and anything we do ends up in our waterways and fish we consume.
A bigshot from England is even having a terrible time trying to set up a gold mining operation in an area where salmon are fished (there is a lot of opposition to his environmentally irresponsible plans). Rest assured, drilling ANWR is not going to be done in an environmentally irresponsible manner. Why do you think it hasn't even started yet?

Does Lisa approve Sarah's shooting and killing of wolves from helicopters? Just wondering.
ANWR will be drilled. The real question is: Will Lisa make sure the companies that harvest the resources totally restore all changes made such a removing roads, equipment, trash, waste pits, buildings, and airstrips when the oil is gone. Go ahead, Lisa, tell us you will not allow Alaska to end up looking like an East Texas oilfield. Somehow I doubt Lisa really cares about protecting the long term beauty of Alaska. Elections are just around the corner.
But at least those pesky wolves won't be a problem.
