They best watch out, or the greenies wikk be screaming and moaning about "global warming" without even checking the current temperatures in Fairbanks!
The slope has to be one of the cleanest operations on the planet, and still we can't get ANWR...they're killing me, they're killing me...

OK, let me explain to you how to do this: design facilities that use nothing, produce nothing, and are invisible and the envirowhackos will be happy... Oh, and be sure to remember cut-outs so the caribou are not inconvenienced...

Hey caribou like us being there. The Arctic Central Herd has made a huge jump in population. The gravel roads and pads give them a chance to get out of the mosquitoes in the tundra.

I know all about it. I worked at Milne Point and for about 10 days in late July it was caribou as far as the eye could see. They really like getting under the buildings that are up on pilings to get away from the bugs which made for some interesting encounters when I was out walking between facilities.
Watched musk ox using the reflective road markers as scratching posts too. Quiviut all over the place.
Yup, those animals simply cannot adapt to development, can they?

Global warming is an excellent solution to avoid societal stagnation. As resources become depleted and infrastructure ages/sustains eco and other damage, the intelligent population can look to the Alaskan land mass as the next movement westward. Isn't Alaska almost as large as NA? NA would be left to the rest. Barterland. LOL.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Classic bullsh** reporting. Please think about this:
"Ridges of Arctic Ocean sea ice were shoved onto a Barrow road in quantities not seen in nearly three decades.
Two ice surges, known to Alaska Natives as ivus, stunned residents who had never seen large blocks of ice rammed ashore."
Let's work this through.
The phenomenon last occurred about 30 years ago.
The stunned residents have never seen large blocks of ice rammed ashore.
Ergo - everyone quoted in the story must either be 1.) younger than 30 or 2.) from somewhere outside the Arctic Ocean or 3.) stupid and blind. I'm willing to be the answer is a combination of 1.) and 3.).
Actually, wind-pushed blocks of ice coming on shore is not a rare occurrance. It is newsworthy because it's happening in the northernmost town in the United States, and the ice has come within 30 feet of important infrastructure.
To put this in lower 48 perspective, imagine a tornado going through a medium-sized town. In one sentence you have the historical facts: it's been 30 years since a tornado in town. In the next sentence, "stunned residents" have never seen a tornado before. Does it make sense?

I hate to disagree with you, but got to set the record straight. There is a small refinery on the slope! Right there at discovery well, it's a little cracker, with, get this, a wooden floor! Yuppers, did a refit there years ago. When we poured the electrical seal-offs in November, don't think they cured till June!
If you fly in to Barrow, there are two gas wells there that I could see in the 90's. This forum is amazing! No matter how remote the spot or obscure the topic, one or more Freepers have 'been there, done that' and can give you the straight skinny.

When we were building the main camps at Prudhoe, that little refinery provided gasoline and diesel for our machines and vehicles. The diesel was okay, but the gasoline was raw so the lifetime of gasoline engines in pickup trucks was about 10,000 miles.

First they are running bulldozers, burning fossil fuels and generating greenhouse gases. Then they destroy natural ice formations.Beat me to it.

makes sense but I think this happens less frequently than tornadoes, I think.
To: Fred Hayek
Only for 9 months a year... the other three its just plain miserable except for 4 or 5 days in late July when it can actually get up into the 80's.

Let me give you an idea how small this forum really is. Read your profile - I'm a plankowner to the Emory S. Land (AS-39) Took care of fast attacks, and a boomer now and then. The Boone rings a bell.
Best as I can tell, I was in and out after you (78-82), because of the names of the boats. Our mission was wrapped around the 688 Los Angeles class boats. Always wanted a ride on a boat, but never got to go...one of the reasons I got out after four. Ever take one of those up through the ice at the pole?
When it comes to getting things done...trust a freeper to be on it!

Thanks for the ping! I don't miss a damn thing about Prudhoe except that they're not drilling ANWR yet!
