ANWR: Realistic thinking

FIRST… do you know what ANWR is?
ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Now… A comparison



And some perspective…



NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA IS…
(it’s in the “ANWR Coastal Plain”)



THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND “GREENS” SHOW YOU WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR
…and they are right… these ARE photographs of ANWR








ISN’T ANWR BEAUTIFUL? WHY SHOULD WE DRILL HERE (AND DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE?
WELL… THAT’S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH
Do you remember the map?
The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain
Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you?
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE…
THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO DRILL!
THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSED EXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER



AND THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER





HERE ARE A COUPLE SCREEN SHOTS FROM GOOGLE EARTH




AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DRILLING IS A BARREN WASTELAND.
OH… AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE…
HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE
“DEPLETED WILDLIFE” SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY*…
DON’T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING?



HERE’S THAT SAME SPOT DURING THE WINTER.



HEY, THIS BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY HATE THE PIPELINE NEAR PRUDHOE BAY*…



*The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of U.S. domestic oil production
NOW, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE environmentalist ARE LYING ABOUT ANWR?

IF THEIR POSITION ON ANWAR WAS SOUND, WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO SHOW FALSE PICTURES TO MAKE THEIR CASE?


REMEMBER WHEN AL GORE SAID THAT
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO ARTIFICIALLY RAISE GAS PRICES
TO $5.00 A GALLON?
WELL…
THAT GOAL HAS ALMOST BEEN REACHED! AN THE POOR WORKING MAN IS HURTING LIKE HELL.
SO WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?
YOU CAN START BY FORWARDING THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW…
SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW THE TRUTH.

  2. Was that JP's son? JP, I think I read somewhere that you have kids, maybe that was one of them.

    Maybe you can show pictures of North Dakota too. That's where a lot of the oil action is lately.

  4. The other pictures look much more real. Perhaps the one you posted is just low res.
