ANWR - FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A new pipeline across Alaska isn't required since the location for drilling in ANWR is about 160 miles from the North Slope Prudhoe Bay pipeline where it would be connected. Second, the wildlife loves the pipeline since it is heated and provides a shelter during the worst times during the winter. Maybe another question should be asked.

FIRST do you know what ANWR is?

(Arctic National Wildlife Refuge)

Now a comparison:

And some perspective

NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED

DEVELOPMENT AREA IS

(it's in the "ANWR Coastal Plain")

THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND "GREENS" SHOW YOU

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR,

and they are right—these ARE photographs of ANWR.

ISN'T ANWR BEAUTIFUL? WHY SHOULD WE DRILL HERE (AND DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE?

WELL THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH!

Do you remember the map? The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain.

Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE

WANTING TO DRILL! THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSEDEXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY

LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER:

AND THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER:

HERE ARE A COUPLE SCREEN SHOTS FROM GOOGLE EARTH:

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DRILLING IS A BARREN WASTELAND. OH, AND THEY SAY THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE. HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE "DEPLETED WILDLIFE" SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY!

DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING?
