I agree with you entirely on this. It's totally insane that the democratic congress has been holding back a yes vote to go ahead and drill in ANWR. 98 out of 100 americans never make it to alaska and those who do realize how absolutely huge it is. It's not like they are going to stick 100,000 or a million oil wells and other infrastructure up there. It's pure lunacy, to preclude drill in ANWR.

But for those who bother to research the issue, or just bother to look at the pictures of ANWR, there is relatively little danger of harming any large portion of the region.
