I agree to an extent, but my point is why is it okay to say the hell with these other places but Alaska is somehow sacred. I mean animals live in the desert
Certainly they were effected by this. Morevoer, that oil was transfered through pipelines and then by boat. To me, it is all the same and it is hypocritical to suddenly say from the comfort of our oil based lives "but Alaska should be saved" for relatively little harm compared to the drilling that occured just ten years ago.
