ANWAR in Pictures
Issue 112 - July 23, 2008

And explain to me again why it is that John McCain doesn't want to drill in ANWR?

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 want 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

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
