<<I-5 goes across desert wasteland>> that was once untrammeled wilderness and supported a desert ecosystem even as you yuppies moved in. Though ANWR too is an ecosystem populated by animals anwr.org anwr.org , it is mainly characterized by ice and snow in the winter anwr.org anwr.org and you probably wouldn't like it in the summer anwr.org anwr.org. OK, so I exaggerated: <<total footprint needed (for extracting the oil, residences and infrastructure, wells, etc.)would be about the size of a FEW of the interchanges on I-5 in California>> acta2002.com If oil is discovered, less than 2000 acres of the over 1.5 million acres of the Coastal Plain would be affected. 17.5 million Acres of ANWR would not be affected. That's about the same size as San Bernardino County and Riverside County put together with a couple hundred thousand acres left over. As you well know, San Bernardino County is the largest county in the Lower 48 and Riverside County is the third largest County in California. And both are swarming with yuppies. But they used to be wilderness. You are probably too young to remember. anwr.org
