Harry, That Northwest Passage may become a very popular shipping route, after global warming completely melts the ice cap. Speaking of such things, keep your midwest weather to yourself! weather.com Scumbria

In all seriousness, the Valdez was a tanker, which happened to be carrying Alaskan oil just outside the sound when it crashed. There is an inherent danger when you ship anything, that accidents will happen. Surely you aren't trying to suggest that all tankers should be banned from the seas. Nor do I see any direct connection to the drilling operations in Anwar and the tanker operations on the other end of the pipeline. Those are two separate issues. Harry, There is a danger whenever and however you transport a chemical or gas that has the potential to be explosive and toxic. Those are not scare tactics as you suggest but reality. And as bad as tankers are, pipelines have resulted in toxic spills, fires and explosions. 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. ted
