My real argument against ANWR is not the animal protection thing though, it is the nonsense that this will help. My fundamental question is how much money could the US government extract out of the oil industry for the rights to drill in ANWR. We are talking about over a trillion dollars worth of oil lying in the ground and there is a certaint point where the economics just swamp the environmental concerns. The cash provided by the sale of those rights could be put to any number of uses that would mean drilling would be a net positive for the overall environment of the planet. Slacker
