Well, it was a thought. Darn.
We’re just going to have to screw the caribou.
In the Prudhoe Bay and other existing Alaskan North Slope Oil Production areas the Central Arctic Herd Caribou population has flourished in the last three decades. At the same time, the Porcupine Herd in ANWR has been declining.
We need to hurry up and drill ANWR to save the Caribou.
