ANWR Oil Debate Draws Eagle Sharpshooters and Critics
The Alaska refuge ANWR sits at the center of a long running fight over drilling 2000 acres of a 19.2 million acre wilderness. Proponents argue drilling could reduce imports and add fuel to the U.S. supply while critics warn of ecological damage to caribou, predators, shore birds, and coast habitats. Figures show potential oil value around 1 trillion dollars with limited peak output and modest price effects, while political leaders including Obama and McCain voice opposition or skepticism.
