Alaska Oil Debate Roars Over ANWR Development
A climate of conflict surrounds tapping Alaska oil reserves in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Proponents argue a small development zone could yield billions of barrels with limited environmental risk, while opponents stress preserving wilderness and caribou habitat. Senators Murkowski and Train weigh in on balancing energy needs with protection.
Protecting Alaska wilderness essential
President Clinton faces a historic choice to permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain, known as America’s Serengeti, from drilling. Advocates warn of irreparable harm to polar bears, caribou and the Gwich’in, while scientists and conservationists urge monument status to safeguard this irreplaceable ecosystem from oil interests and development.
