ANWRFIRST… do you know what ANWR is? ANWR = 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 PROPOSED EXPLORATION 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 THAT 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? 
HERE'S THAT SAME SPOT DURING THE WINTER.
 HEY, THIS BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY HATE THE PIPELINE NEAR PRUDHOE BAY *… *The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of U.S. domestic oil production 
Al Gore said years ago in his book, that THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO ARTIFICIALLY RAISE GAS PRICES... TO $5.00 A GALLON? On June 10th, on MSNBC, Barack Obama said that he would have preferred that gas prices rose so high so fast, but he believe that Americans would be more accepting if they went up gradually. |
