Yes, they ignore the pipeline because it was built so that they COULD
walk under them. Many types of tundra animals use the EXACT same route
and have for thousands of years. I've been to many many drilling rigs
also. They are nasty, stinky, they use a lot of chemicals in the
process, and you can't tell me that wildlife would thrive in that
environment.
Wildlife do fine around people. They have a huge deer problem in
downtown Washington DC. I damned near hit two of them on the
Whitehurst freeway. (Georgetown)

I have also flown at low altitude over arrays of wind turbines and
was
appalled at how destructive they were to the environment. Each
required a road to service the turbine regularly and the turbines
were
like ugly blotches on the ridges. By contrast, the average
producing oil well can barely be noticed even from low altitude and
gas wells are even more invisible.
So, gas and oilwells don't need servicing? Funny, every one I've ever
seen has a road going to it......
The biggest danger to caribou in that situation is getting hit by a
truck.
Normally the biggest danger to caribou is they get killed by wolves
but you folks got mad when the people in Alaska tried to thin out the
wolves so I am confused. Do you really give a **** about caribou or is
this just another way to demonize oil companies?
WHOOOOOSH.......

So, let me get this straight. Because nature is what it is, and yes,
wolves eat caribou, you think that we should do anything and
everything to make sure we kill them all........just because in the
wild there is natural selection? Did you get that directly from Rush,
because that's just a dumb position. Unfortunately dise ase kills
children. Does that mean that we should stop keeping poison out of
their reach?

The real point is why do you think a couple hundred acres in a 19
million square mile refuge is going to seriously affect caribou in any
way at all?
We cut roads through the middle of national parks all over the country
and the deer, antelope and bison are as likely to be around the roads
as anywhere else. Grazing animals are not particularly afraid of
people.
ANWAR is not a pristine land. Former military compounds on it, villages.

Seems almost every argument is being nailed here today. Wonder where the
honest dems are, seems they can only act like harry and change the
subject, or deny the facts all together cause Maddow, and Huffington
told them to...

Okay, I just don't understand, so please help me. Why does it seem to me
that you and other conservatives don't want anything to do with creating
and building new technologies and instead just want to keep using fossil
fuels? It appears to me that if you all had your way, we'd still be
using technology that damned near ruined areas of the United States
until we got the pollution under control.

I would ask the same thing of you? Why are you so against new technology
in the areas we have already developed?
