Can you tell me what any of that has to do with a country exploiting their own natural resources?

And that thing of not affecting nothing beyond the extraction site? C'mon man?! Clearly you've never seen a big minning compound...one thing that brough me to this site was the oportunity to have serious(kind of!) discussions about matters like this one. Do u really mean what ur saying when U've written that above... I'm not even start talking about by air contmination and oil spills from sea carriers, cuz I know they want to use pipelines, but remember, Alaska's not even adjacent to the majorty of US territory, it's more of an enclave surrounded by canada, ask any canadian if they are't apreensive about oil drilling up there...

I think you need to take a geography class dude. A land mass twice the size of Texas and larger than all but 18 other
countries in the entire world can hardly be called an "enclave", nor could it be considered to be surrounded by Canada seeing that their shared border is only 1500 miles long and Alaska has a coastline that is 33000 miles long.
Also I wouldn't worry so much about Canada seeing as how they have no problems exploiting their own oil resources. Google Alberta oil sands...
