ANWR has been bandied about for decades. It should have been developed long ago.
Back in the 90's I had a license plate that read ANWR OIL.
It was met with mixed reviews LOL.
I always marvel at people who want to have things, just to have them. I'm a huge proponent of conservation, but the vast majority of people (mostly liberals) who are zealous on the subject, especially as it applies to Alaska, seem to fit into the crowd who want the land to just sit there. It's like owning a Lamborghini but never driving it because you don't want it to rack up miles. Or having a hot girlfriend, but never having sex with her so that she won't be too worn out for her next boyfriend.
This is twice that I find myself in agreement with you. I may have to kill myself. -
