-Caveat Lector- This question refers specifically to Northern Alaska where tremendous oil and gas reserves are located. This area is artic wasteland for at least nine months out of the year, the wildlife there are able to survive the horribly cold winter. Could someone explain how development of the oil and natural gas resources possibly affect the wildlife in Northern Alaska?
There is an existing oil production operation at Prudhoe bay(Check my energy web page at <A HREF="http://www.voicenet.com/~wbacon/Energy.html"> My Energy web page</A>) with no evidence of negative effect on the wildlife population, in fact the elk population has actually increased! So what's the basis of the alleged "fear" that the wildlife population would be negatively affected? Remember, this is the basis the self appointed environmental militants are using to deny the United States badly needed oil and gas resources which would under the political control of the United States not somebody in the volatile middle east. Could this simply be a pre-text for a hidden agenda? If not, why not? "I pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one Nation under God,indivisible,with liberty and justice for all."
