Have you seen what ANWR actually looks like? It is butt ugly tundra that not much wildlife lives on. The MSM embargo pictures of it and almost always instead insert a photo of the Brooks Range, beautiful country that is well protected. I even saw a NY Times story about ANWR that displayed a photo of Mt. McKinley.

The fact is with modern drilling technology there would be a tiny footprint in ANWR that wouldn't harm the land or the critters.

Yes, I’ve seen them. My position on drilling is that if there’s oil under the White House lawn, we go after it.

Here in ND’s Bakken field, oil is being extracted from under Lake Sakakawea. Directional drilling has dramatically reduced the environmental footprint.
