From The Lakeland-Times. A good read from Alaska about ANWR.
Funny the people on the left have no common cents ($). We need oil. we need natural gas, we need renewable energy, we need them all. Anyway a good read from our friends in the north woods.
Good job Joyce.
"Sarah Palin and the oil industry" Sarah Palin and the oil industry
Joyce Laabs
Features Editor
We have all heard the pundits say that vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, took on the oil industry. What were the particulars?
For answers we spoke with Adrian Herrera, a 30-year resident of Alaska who works with Arctic Power.
"So ANWR coastal plain holds not just oil, but natural gas. To argue against ANWR oil is the same as arguing against natural gas.
The immediate effect of drilling in ANWR would be the royalties from leasing. There would be $4 billion coming in from lease sales - this comes in whether they find oil or not.
"We need to talk facts - not fiction. The proposed development in the ANWR Coastal Plain is just 2,000 acres - or 3.1 sq. miles. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife (USFWS), must agree to all permit construction proposals before any development can take place. No development can be deemed t harm the environment to allow oil exploration to take place.

Good job Joyce.
