Decision opens part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling for the first time
WASHINGTONThe Trump administration approved an oil leasing program for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on Monday, opening up the pristine 19-million-acre wilderness to drilling for the first time and making it difficult to unwind the decision should Democrats recapture the White House in November.
Approving the program clears the way to auction oil leases right around the end of the year, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said in an interview. The decision caps more than 30 years of efforts by oil companies and Alaskan leaders to drill in the refuge.

With oil trading at such low prices I don’t imagine too many folks will rush in.

“Flat frozen barren land is pristine.”
Not exactly. Lot of caribou poop. Lot s of oil seeps on the ground too. The Natives used to collect crude oil off the surface to burn in their lamps during the winter. THE HORROR!!!
They are going to find a LOT of oil beneath that pristine tundra!

Right, along with all the caribou who warm themselves along the current Alaska pipeline. Countless photos to prove it.

Anyone got a current satellite view of the Artic ice field? The one that was supposed to be gone years ago according to Al Gore and all the polar bears gone due to no ice?
