RE:"As Scott pointed out in an article, ANWAR is considered environmentally fragile....as bad as a fire or an explosion or a spill would be in the lower 48, it would be just that much worse in the ANWAR."

That article gave little evidence of that.
Besides that...
An oil spill on land shouldn't be anywhere near the disaster it would be near a coastline.
Drilling the ANWAR could be done with little damage to the environment. Whether it will be is another story.
Certain guarantees and monitoring would have to be in place before proceeding, IMHO.
Workers would have to be restricted from where they can go. No shooting the wildlife for sport...
Corridors would have to be used for transport...
Some areas would have to be totally off limits to drilling activity.
