There’s a verse in the Cowardly Lion’s solo where he sings:

What makes the muskrat guard his musk?

There are Musk Oxen on the Alaskan Arctic Refuge..............

"Polar bears can survive very nicely without any ice.............."

Never heard that. I thought or was indoctrinated that polar bears need ice floes to hunt for seals and such.

About flipping time! Make it happen. Now! If it gets slowed too much, the rats will stop it again.

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

If not for the knowledge that liberals will try to shut it back down there wouldn’t be. As it is, liberalism is creating the exact opposite of their stated intent (tip of the hat to Jim Quinn).

"occasionally environmentalists"

If only. I laugh when I see environmentalists get attacked or eaten by wild animals they love so much because they're too stupid to keep their distance. They actually project their empathy on non-sentient wild species whose main instinct is there next meal after survival.

Yes, some do some good. What amazes me is that they can't seem to grasp the scientific fact that some 98% or more of all species on this rock have gone extinct by natural selection. They are so concerned that some mindless little lizard, fish, or bird die out rather than let the farmers in California have full access to water for their crops. Their priorities are senseless.

Bet heads are expolding all over Social Media with the new Alaskan tundra drilling. OMG, some insect will die, as the Earth continues on with adaption to the food chain.

I will celebrate when I see the first rig pumping the first barrel of oil out of ANWR. This should have happened in the early 90s.

“opening up the pristine 19-million-acre wilderness”
Flat frozen barren land is “pristine”.

Yes, we’re going to have to tell everybody again that the drilling footprint is only going to be 2 square miles out of ANWR’s total of 30,000 square miles, and it is in the barren ice/mud fields along the coast. They will do lateral drilling from there to reach a wide area of oil deposits and run less than 100 miles of pipeline west to link up with the existing Alaska Pipeline.
