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.
But what about the bunnies, flowers and Bambis they always show in the pictures of ANWR?
I’m pretty sure that when they initially nicknamed Alaska “Seward’s Folly” they were talking about ANWR.
