There's validity to both arguments. Drill, don't drill... but I'm against creating permanent irreversible damage & I don't think this administration or any big oil co. is interested in developing those resources in alaska it in a way that sustains the environment.
It might get bled for profit as fast as possible. Alaska is one of the places Bald Eagles roost for most of the year. They flock there in the thousands on the coast & most of Alaska is currently protected parkland because the forest, the land & the air is unspoiled, until there's another oil spill.
Start drilling & logging it out & how long is that going to last? It's not just eagles... but they are one of the birds most recently most endangered with a lot to lose by losing the land.
