This is a subject I'll admit I don't know a lot about. I've read various places that the technology now available to drill is very low impact and could be used without any significant ecological damage.

 

I do recall a cartoon from back when this issue was hot that I thought made a fair point. If I can recall it had the US on an ark while the Flood was proceeding and they were preparing the drill through the bottom of the ark (i.e. drilling in ANWR to make gasoline to contribute to global warming). That's one of my favorite political cartoons.

 

So what do you think about this? Is it ecophilia gone amok or does drilling really present a great enough danger to the Arctic (or to us) that it shouldn't be done?
