Drill In Ankr
A strong cool breeze pushed its way through the tall, dark, green pine trees that danced as they swayed back and forth in the bright daylight. The snow caped rugged mountains, seemed to reach the sky. The wild caribou roamed freely as they searched for leaves and mushrooms along the soft green grass. The polar bears slowly, and carefully searched for seal in the icy cold waters. Two grizzly bears, a mama bear and the other the baby bear, wandered about and stopped in front of a large oil pipe that went on for miles. The moma grizzly bear used her back legs and was able to jump up and over the oil pipe by herself. The baby grizzly bear kept on trying to jump over to reach its moma, but he couldn't jump over so he was left behind, alone, and …show more content…
One reason, is that drilling creates jobs. For example, a quote from “Top Ten Reasons to Support ANWR Development” is “Jobs will be created between 250,000 ANWR jobs and 750,000” This shows that drilling in ANWR will give so many people, paid jobs. The article “Drill here. Drill now. Drill ANWR.” says that for every barrel of oil, United States gains $135. The United States is always importing oil from other places and by drilling in ANWR the United States would save 150 billion dollars. That Money could be used for something else that is useful. Next, on torn apart, only a small portion of land will be affected by the drilling. For example instead of most of the land being drilled open and left looking “like Mars” most of the land would be reserved and kept untouched. The article “Open Letter to Congress” talks about how United States Congressional Records says that they will promise to preserve our environment. This is a positive outcome that drilling in ANWR would bring. Lastly, Drilling in ANWR will lower the United States oil prices with less reliance on foreign oil. The article “Top Ten Reasons to Support ANWR Development” states that the United States pays around 150 billion dollars in oil imports. Thats a lot of money and If the United States Drilled in ANWR it would cause that number to decease. “Drill here. Drill now. Drill ANWR.” states that “Pro-drilling policies would likely bring lower prices”. That is a positive effect because oil prices wouldn’t be as high, and cost Americans a fortune. Last, The same article says that “$1.3 trillion that we would not have to send to Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela.” Thats a lot of money we would save on oil, and shipping their and

    Dwight R Lee Analysis

    • 3 Pages

    In his piece, Dwight R. Lee explains that with oil drilling the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, there would be many benefits as compared to the cost. He doesn’t deny that there would be risks associated with the drilling. However, he feels that they do not begin to compare to the benefits. He explains that the main reason that this has become such a hot topic is because of the high prices of gasoline and oil. One company that he looks at is the National Audubon Society. They are against opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling because they feel that it will “destroy the integrity.” This is the same company that owns the 26,000 acre Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary and opens it to drilling. By allowing this drilling, the Audubon Society has received more than $25 million. This has allowed them to own other wildlife and wilderness land.…

    The United States had great choice to make this past month in the Presidential Elections. The decision was to continue on our current path or start on a new one. A major point on the two candidates was on the domestic economic policies. Issues on the domestic economic policies were very different for both tickets in this year’s election. Differences were very clear on each party’s stances on drilling on Federal Land. Romney was very adamant on increasing drilling on Federal Land and also creating the much controversial Keystone XL Pipeline. During Obama’s first term, production of natural gas on the United States Federal Land has decreased from 35% to 21%. Though, his dismay of drilling has come after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in which millions of barrels of oil polluted vast areas in the Gulf of Mexico. This trend will be continuing, unless progress is made to ensure the safety of the environment while drilling. This is a main concern for the government, especially on domestic Federal Land.…

    The government should not come in contact with property that does not belong to them unless consent is given by the owner. In the case of Standing Rock, the government was never given permission to construct the oil pipeline in their Indian Reservation territory. The government should not be allowed to construct the pipeline in Indian Reservation territory because first of all that property is not theirs is the Sioux’s Tribe property. Second of all, the oil pipeline is going to produce many complications for the environment and the community around it. Third and final of all this is going to give America a bad image.…

    Imagine a forest with unnatural beauty: green trees, a wide variety of wildlife, clean water from streams, and the sound of migrating birds flying overhead. Now imagine that same exact forest with tar sands oil running through it: wilting trees, bone-thin wildlife suffocating from the fumes, and streams covered in brown and black oil. Jonathan Waldman, an environmental journalist at the University of Colorado, published an article that argued that the Keystone XL pipeline should be built because it is the safest way to move tar sands oil, does not affect the environment and climate, and creates effective jobs. However, that is not the case. The Keystone XL Pipeline is actually a dangerous way to move oil from Point A to Point B, affects the environment negatively, and does not create effective jobs.…

    Grizzly Bear Diets

    • 536 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For a long time researchers have been trying to retrieve data on Grizzly bear diets. It is clear that all Grizzly bears have different habitats, food sources, and outside pressures such as human development. Although this is true Grizzly bears have been seen to commonly have the same diets over the course of seasonal shifts. For example, Grizzly bear diet and use of seasonally abundant, nutrient-rich food sources has been well documented throughout their range in North America. A wide diversity of foods is consumed, reflecting the species' omnivorous and generalist nature. Food-habit relations are therefore often locally variable, making extrapolations from other populations difficult. Even within a population, annual and seasonal variations in food productivity can alter…

    The United States offshore drilling debate is still ongoing, and the argument is that the United States benefits because it becomes less dependent on imported oil. There is also the argument that offshore drilling would affect military training and weapon testing. However, my argument is that offshore drilling poses a much greater threat to all civilization.…

    The question is whether or not to drill to best meet our energy needs. I really do not lean more one way or the other. I am more of the person who finds it available I will purchase it. For example, when our televisions went digital over analog I went out and purchased the digital cable that was necessary in order to watch my television. Analog was no longer available so I went out and purchased what was available. I am the same way when concerning saving energy. Just like everyone else I will purchase what is available. If oil ceases to be available because people decide to shut it down then I will purchase the alternative in order for what I need to work to work. I guess if I had to choose one over the other I would choose to continue to drill. The amount of jobs that will be lost in this country as a result of trying to save energy is tremendous. Over 12,000 people in the US alone will lose jobs (www.noia.org). Not to mention there are now colleges that offer training to get into the oil and gas industries (The Edge, Community college to train for oil, gas jobs p13A). In this economy we should be working on saving and creating jobs. Once our economy is better we can work on how we can make it better.…

    Oil Drilling in Alaska

    • 602 Words
    • 3 Pages

    George W. Bush was a strong supporter for the drilling in Alaska. His argument for being pro drilling is that it will help our economy. Many new jobs would be created and that America would be less dependent on foreign sources of energy. This will improve America's economy which has took a plunge over the last few years. He also said that with all the studies that ANWR ( Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) has done that scientists have created was of drilling for the oil with having barely any effect on the earth. If this is true that means that most of the people who were opposed to it, because it would destroy wildlife, would be happy. The area that the drilling would be done in makes up only 8 percent of the whole refuge.…
