All the blather about ANWR and protecting the ecology of this area set aside as a pristine park and such, and then I come across this ... Apparently back in 1980 even the Democrats knew we were going to need energy in the future.
"The Coastal Plain of ANWR, also known as the 1002 Area, is neither wilderness nor refuge. It was set aside by Congress and President Carter in 1980 for future oil development. Development would be limited to 2000 acres of the Coastal Plain or 0.01% of the entire 19.6 million-acre refuge. These lands were set aside for America to produce its own energy resources."
