Oil Drilling in Alaska may affect wildlife, but it is a good thing to do because our government will make money and go out of business. Are you tired of paying high gas prices every time you need to fill up? Do you know that if the United States allowed the Shell oil company to drill for oil in Alaska, you could say goodbye to those high gas prices? The resin they say we can't drill there is because it would affect wild life. But from my perspective the wild life that lives there have a lot of land to move into once they start drilling. In this article I will give you many explanations as to why I think we should drill in Alaska. I will tell you the positive things it will do for the government and for the American people in general. I'll also tell you why some people say it's a bad idea. I will tell you how it positively affects the land, people and animals that live in the region. At the end of this article I would like your reflection on this topic to be more detailed and easier to choose. One of the biggest resins that I think should allow us to drill in Alaska is because of the oil shortage that we have. Do you know that we waste trillions of dollars getting oil from abroad when we could get it from our own lands? “If President Clinton had not signed the Wilderness Society's demands and vetoed the 1995 legislation, we would be producing a million barrels a day from ANWR right now” (Mark, 2012). In fact the continent of Alaska is already crossed by a gas pipeline, so I think there should be no problem to start using the line again. “The TAPS witch opened in 1977, is over 4' in diameter, and extends 800 miles from Prudhoe Bay in the Arctic to Valdez Bay in the Gulf of Alaska” (George, 2012). The question for this pipe is... the center of the paper... proposal: lower gas prices, more jobs and help the economy. These things outweigh the bad things people say will happen. You should ask yourself whether you would rather have low gas prices “something you will use every day, or would you rather keep Alaska as if it were something “you will never see.” So, now that I have told you all the facts that I have learned, this is the time when you should really think carefully and make your own decision whether to be for or against drilling plans in a small part of the Alaska Wilderness. I hope this article helps you make your decision on the topic and I also hope it has answered all the questions you have purchased on the topic, just when you go to make your decision ask yourself this question: what will we need in future and after asking your ask yourself that question which is when you have to make your decision.
