#1 Those us that Live in Alaska already know this. It's the eco-nazis and the LLL that have turned this into an emotional screaming match.

And John Q. area too stupid to ague the case on merits.

#2 "Opponents worry that the caribou will be disconsolate and their reproduction disrupted by, this intrusion by man."

Will, once again, is spot on. The caribou debate is a red-herring. When pressed, the enviromentalists "in-the-know" admit that a pipeline and infrastructure, if built correctly, disrupts migration in terms of only "miles". It is the avoidence with human activity that is of concern. But ask anyone who has ever worked on the construction or exploration in Alaska and they will tell you as soon as there is even a hint of the calving season it's time to fold the tents for the year.

#3 There are so many images of ANWR that show the area south of the Brooks Range, and not the flat North Slope. Also, the issue is BIG Money for non profits. Slap some emotion, coffee table book pictures, and a reply envelope with lines for your VISA card and you have a cash cow for the director and staff. What a friggin racket.
