Right now in my AP environmental science class we’re doing a debate about arctic drilling. I just want to thank everyone who put their opposing opinions on this page, and support the environment. Envirothon for life.

What little they could drag out of those lands after they destroyed wouldn’t make a real difference at all. Oh, they want to drill in our national parks now too. Perhaps our national heritage and protected lands seem like nothing to you, but they mean a lot to me. If nothing else, we may come to value a clean water source before too much longer.

As for whose interest it is in, do just a tad of research on Exxon, for example. Or read up and ask people who live in the areas where drilling takes place in our country today. I think you might get a different perspective once you are clear on oil seepage, ruined water, destroyed land, dead wildlife. Or maybe you don’t care about those things – it’s certainly your own decision.

I only wish that the idea of “big oil” was an effective enough meme to have become a cliche.

What nonsense.

I’ve BEEN THERE.

There is a whole lot of nothing.

Also, there have been no major spills from the Alaska pipeline in three decades of operation.

It’s not a vote for BIG OIL (what a cliche’)…it’s a vote for national sovereignty and security.
