ANWAR

A friend sent this to me in an email today....


FIRST… do you know what ANWR is?



ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.


...



Now… A comparison









And Some perspective


A


















Note where the porposed development area is...
(it's in the "ANWR Coastal Plain")










This is what those who are against drilling in ANWR show you when they talk about ANWAR













... 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?
????????

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
(Thanks Google...)

























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 in 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





We Need to Drill!
