Dear Mr. Sherwonit, Thank you for your perspective.  I can only hope that our congressional delegation will have a change of mind and of heart.  Industrializing this iconic resource is, as you  have said, the WRONG thing to do. Some places are simply too magnificent, too important, too vital to our well-being to be developed.  If the coastal plain of ANWR is not such a place, then I fear we  have truly lost our way and our sense of what matters most.
