I'm totally with you 1000% Mr. Sherwonit. I've been up to the area 10 times conducting eco tours for people from Alaska, U.S., and around the world. It is an utterly astounding part of our planet that must be protected for future generations - and visitors - including the animals and natives that live there - and rely on it's natural state. The oil industry and associates should find substitute money generators - like renewable eco tourism - and alternative energies (which already exist) and make there millions there from now on. Once we trash ANWR and the arctic area it's gone for good. Yes we used gasoline to travel up there; so what. We provided a mass transportation eco friendly, educational service. Anyway, alternative fuels and energy sources are more available now - and for my next trip thank you kindly.
