Most Americans had never heard of the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge (ANWR) before the summer of 2008 when gas prices exceeded
$4.00 per gallon. At that time, a national cry rang out for relief
at the pumps and for increased energy security to prevent such a
painful recurrence. ANWR suddenly became a highly contentious issue
in the energy debates raging in Congress, eventually spilling over
into the presidential campaigns throughout the fall. It was front
page news as Congressional delegations and media outlets made the
obligatory pilgrimage to Anchorage and points beyond in a
half-hearted effort to find truth amid the mounting hype.
Yet what was learned from all this activity? What do any of us
really know about ANWR that wasn't gleaned from a thirty-second
news bite? The sad truth is that most Americans had never seen, and
never will see, this remote, majestic corner of northern
Alaska.
Regrettably, there is no manual with respect to comprehending
the issues surrounding ANWR. Current sources run a somewhat limited
spectrum from addressing narrow topics in total isolation, to being
only mildly informative. More importantly, the information, whether
it is derived from energy advocates, environmental organizations,
or political analysts, tends to harbor an innate bias. This book is
a good faith effort to inform, without bias.
