That Alaskan wasteland is home to animals who were there before we were.
Drilling a supply of oil which will have a questionable impact on the current fuel crisis, and in the process destroying habitat for all the furry creatures...
I really wonder what will happen when the global reserves of oil are all gone, then maybe we can start the slow and arduous process of actually preserving the beauty and liveability of our planet.
