Minnesotans for Global Warming suggests a new look at ANWR

It turns out drilling for oil in water a mile deep isn't such a good idea after all, and ANWR is being looked at again as place to drill. But the same old arguments against drilling in ANWR are also coming up again.

The main reason for not drilling in ANWR is that it is too "Environmentally Sensitive", but I think that the Gulf is way more environmentally sensitive than ANWR. Here is a list of things that we wouldn't have to worry about if we drilled in ANWR.

Things that the gulf's environment has that ANWR doesn't have: Fish, Shrimp, Turtles, Birds, Swamps, Beaches, Trees, Oceans, Gulf Streams

Things that ANWR's environment has that the Gulf doesn't: Permafrost
