ANWR drilling is a sore subject.  It’s constantly discussed and debated, particularly during elections.  It takes a decent understanding of all the issues involved to join the discussion.

The anwr drilling issue starts in the beautiful state of Alaska.  ANWR is the name given to 19 million acres on Alaska’s North Slope – the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  The area became a federal protected area in 1960.  Since then more land has been added.  The stated purpose of protecting the area was so resources could be preserved  What good are resources that can never be tapped?
