#1 but Leesa Murkowitz said she had so much power, that's why they need her in the Senate...

#2 This has been a great concern of mine for years. You can see the trend. Senator Stevens worked unceasingly for 2 decades to get ANWR opened up, but to no avail. The Congress thinks that Alaska is a national park or monument, same with some western states. Alaska is screwed and so are western states, and every year puts us worse in the red with respect to oil imports.

Yes there are risks, but the depths are in the order of 200 ft or so, not thousands of feet underwater like the Gulf.

Congress and the President are slitting the throats of Americans on the installment plan.

#3 AP: Have you seen the part of ANWR they want to drill? It is rocky and desolate *nothing*. Almost no critters there, not scenic at all. Yet when the opponents talk about drilling them, they show pictures of Denali and lots of wildlife.

#4 Congress and the President are slitting the throats of Americans on the installment plan.

As Designed.

Its my understanding that the area they want to drill is a very small area of ANWR right?

And its my understanding that the pipeline, instead of a bane to the environment has been a boon.
