Anyone been up there? I saw a presentation today on it in one of our classes - the place seems absolutely amazing - so colorful during the summer time, and an ice palace during the winter time.
Presentation was about recent intentions by the US government to start drilling for oil out there. I can be such a sucker when it comes to presentations like this.
Anyone ever been out there before? Anyone opposed to the drilling?
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
I am not opposed to drilling in anyplace, even if it means drilling someone’s head to get oil. I watched Frontline last night and boy…I would rather drill oil anywhere but in that camel land…
and yeah, I am into wildlife too.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
screw wildlife... my escalade chugs gas. i want gas prices to go down.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
what did you see on frontline?
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
if its not a reality show i havent seen it. all i watch on tv is joe millionare type shows.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
I saw how the entire region (mideast) is in such a hell because of such vast oil resources. If they didn’t have that, there will be peace in that region. So, yes, i have no problem drilling oil in the arctic and piping it to the US via Canada.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
so are you implying that you don't want peace in alaska (and thus in USA) or you want peace in the middle east?
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
I'm opposed to the drilling Pyari.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge

Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge

Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
:bash:
oh my God - for the love of the polar bears, please stay on topic!
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
okay im opposed to polar bears. their existence makes me the butt of many jokes.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
Aeons ago I read an article in the National Geographic about a man who hiked the Arctic circle . He painted vivid pictures of the panormaic views, vistas, hills and the wild life there. I was touched.
As regards the oil, there isn't enough oil to fulfill the needs of the US consumers there. Arctic is pristine, I don't see a point.
And, all you SUV drivers should be hung by your tuttay!
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
This is another fine example of liberals spreading their propganda to further their cause. PCG, if we drilled in that God for saken big mass of ice (mostly), it will be a small portion where there will be a rig and the rest will be a huge long pipe (calm down Madhanee, I know you are salvating reading this...its oil pipeline). It will not kill the wild life, contrary to the lies spread my bleeding heart liberal, Sierra, PETA and other animal loving twit brains.
Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
LI, you wanna come try that. I will make sure that I run over you with both my Silverado and Suburban. Mind you my comfortable ride will not be disturbed.

Re: Arctic Wildlife Refuge
A discussion on Arctic Wildlife Refuge, going on 20 replies on GS! Qiyamat ki nishani....
It figures that most posts are irrelevant. Thats probably a saving grace. But lately the thread has gone from just offtopic to downright miserable.
