I've been to ANWR. You arent missing much. Most impressive mosquitos i have ever seen in my life and i've spent considerable time on the gulf coast post hurricanes. Kaktovik is a hole.
Try to see it by helicopter if you can. Sadlerochit Mtns are fun. Grayling fishing was beyond excellent.

Any kin to Tody?

That's what I read and fishing and hunting will be my main activity.

Although hunting is not challenging because the games are semi tame as it's not seen humans before.

The challenge is taking a big one as there are no roads nor trails in the interior.

I doubt you would be going to the area where the drilling was going to be going on. anwr map
the effected area starts about 100 miles east of the road to Prudhoe
Bay and was the 30 or 40 miles along the coast.
Most people going UP there for hunting or fishing take one of the dirt roads that go over to service thepipeline and dont actually enter ANWR.

Sorry, I dont understand your question (or joke, maybe?).

Looks like we will shut down everything that makes us energy independent and creates good jobs. Oil, gas, coal, pipelines, the wall. And just how many people will be put out of work and lose everything just to stroke some egos? Retrain a pipe liner to make solar panels? Come on Man!

We are already have excess oil that there are capping of some drills and pumps.

Investors are already advising to not to buy the Exxons if you have long-term horizon as the trend is a continued decline in global demand.

Have you seen what happened to coal when people just waited for the false promise of a revival? Whose ego was stoked on this case? And who were the gullible victims?

Technology in all area of life is going faster with greater speed and velocity. There is the future and there is the past. It's adapt or die (or your family will starve).

As an update, GM announced they will stop selling gas and diesel vehicles. (zero tailpipe).

"ADAPT OR DIE" seems to be the only Federal Gov. policy offered to Americans.

It's the free market economy that's dictating that.

Sam what do you know? My livelyhood depends on oil&gas leases, my brother has worked for a coal company 40+years, brother in law lays pipe, another brothers trucks haul coal and pipe. Maybe the king can provide us with a compete range income as we are all 60 or older. Build wind mills & solar panels, give me a break. What are you going to do when they take your job.

Adapt or die is not a government thing. It is just a thing. Everything and everybody must adapt or die. Lumberjacks using axes had to adjust to chain saws, farmers using horses had to adjust to ICE,,Most carrige builders refused to adapt. Should they have been propped up.Lamp lighters were forced to adapt, Should we still have coal gas street lamps just so we can keep the lighters employed, How about Dunny men,
Pipe line workers will just find another contract to work.
I see that there are a whole bunch of posters with very short views!
