This is not about ANWR but drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska.

“This is not about ANWR but drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska.”

We need to save that for when the time comes that Middle Eastern Oil is radioactive.

So, the way I read this, the agreement diminishes the area of the National Petroleum Reserve by 430,000 acres around the lake. Apparently thie protection of this area is the price for releasing the rest for auction of leases including those currently in process of being auctioned.

The auction of these leases will relieve the pressure on needing to drill in the ANWHAR area to the north and west of these areas.

Apparently, not many posters read the article or don't know the difference between ANWR and NPRA. Your reply bears repeating.
