I agree that the amount of area "spoiled" will be completely insignificant compared to the size of Anwar. Simple minded people are easily fooled by dem scare tactics. Another funny thing is that VERY FEW people go visit this place. They (VLM's) act like its a regular Yellowstone, but I think I heard either 600 or 6,000 as the number of visitors each year. They should still have plenty to look at with the MILLIONS of acres that are not effected.

It is a BIG area.
