But one thing they can not do is guarantee there will be none and with even one spill, the ANWR environment could be screwed up for decades.

The Prudhoe Bay field has been working for a long time now and yes there have been spills, but they have not caused wide spread long term environmental damage to Prudhoe Bay.


Tim, the Exxon Valdez spill ten years later is still a problem for the effected bay, its wildlife and the village that is on the site. Because its way outside our mainstream news, you don't here much about it. Nonetheless, they all are still struggling.

And it only takes one spill. Oil does not break down quickly.......its why plastics are so durable and long lasting. In spite of comments to the contrary, the ANWR is more than just about tundra and caribou..........and it needs to be preserved.
