ANWR & The Case for Drilling
Posted on Sunday, August 17th, 2008
ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
UPDATE: RUSH TALKS ABOUT OUR ARTICLE!
Our good friends over at Porter County Politics have published a group of pictures that are sure to infuriate anyone who opposes common sense in the drilling for oil in ANWR debate.
The post rightfully points out the fact that, unlike what many would argue, the ANWR area is very small compared to many other areas where we explore for oil. In fact, ANWR respresents only 2,000 acres out of 19,000,000!
The post gets even better as you scroll down. You’ll find solid evidence that pictures often times published by ANWR drilling opposition do not in any way actually depict the ANWR coastal plains. Included are shots of the ANWR coastal plains, as well as Google maps images of the area.
And to poke a little at the absurd argument that drilling would disrupt the wildlife in the area, you’ll see pictures of wildlife around another drilling area that are perfectly happy coexisting with environment friendly drilling platforms.
The bottom line is that drilling in ANWR doesn’t harm the environment, isn’t cutting into any “pristine” area, and doesn’t disrupt the wildlife.
NOTE from Bill Collier: read our original articles here ,here, and here.
I highly recommend you check out the post.

Thanks Eric, I do want to reiterate one more time that although great information and well researched … I didn’t do the work. I received this as an email in June, I believe from people involved in the Luke Puckett for Congress team in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District.
If the real author wants to stand up, I’d be glad to give the accolades due.
Your blog is where I found it…
Better yet, I’d love to see our fellow #dontgo movement members helping out Luke’s campaign for Congress. http://www.puckett08.com/
I’m not a member of the Luke Puckett campaign, but a part of the district is in my home county and I’d really like a new Congressman.

Although Democrats are trying to stall, the #dontgo movement is grabbing attention and aligns itself with what the public really wants. It’s time to drill here and drill now.
