Reality check........... Probably not worth moving up there especially if Shrub gets his way. You'll end up with an oil well staring at you from your front window... Just like Texas is nothing but oil derricks? Or the Gulf of Mexico? Get real. Please check your facts before you attempt unfounded scare tactics. ..........The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) consists of 19 million acres. Eight million acres of that are wilderness never to be disturbed. Another 9.5 million acres are under wildlife refuge designation allowing no development. The remaining 1.5 million acres could hold as much as 16 billion barrels of oil that could replace Saudi oil coming to the U.S. for close to 30 years........... anwr.org Alaska Regional Roundup 365 Million Acres of Adventure I'm a born-and-bred Alaskan with eighteen-plus years to my credit — and yet I've spent most of that time in one small corner of the state. No matter where you think you've been or what you think you've done, you cannot pull a "been there, done that" attitude in the Last Frontier. It's just too big and too diverse. Within this single state there are 365 million acres of rushing freshwater rivers and crashing salty coastline; towering peaks and flat expanses; tufty tundra and lush rain forest. Separate Alaska by region and you have four very different destinations.......... gorp.com
