The really amusing part is... get this.

Nobody really knows how much *if any* oil and natural gas there is under the ice...

They are just hoping that because it is the last unexplored region on the planet there must be something to find.

Ahhh. I'll sleep easy tonight knowing that this is the kind of forward planning our way of life depends on.

Really no one should have any right to the place - it should be left alone, as a sort of global "national park".
