mw: I agree, however why does TH state or imply that there is any activity in ANWAR?  " Most of you are already aware of the damage caused by the burning and the extraction of oil (in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, for example)."  I was on the northslope last Nov and I was not aware of any activity in ANWAR. This can only take away from their credibility. Plus many other statements they have made in the past.
Sorry if the sentence was not clear; I may correct to make it clearer. The ANWR reference was just a link-back to another post and to give an example of how oil extraction could cause damage. In the case of ANWR, it is damage that is apprehended (and anybody who claim that there would be no damage is seriously delusional), of course.
There, fixed it.
