National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska

Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a serious issue for environmentalists and for the future of the United States. Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge be opened to oil drilling? This paper will debate whether or not we should allow Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to be opened to oil drilling. This will also show the impact it has on the environment, and I will show a critical analysis of the current issue of whether or not to drill. History Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

While the ecological importance of the ANWR region is largely undisputed, as the preserve contains critical den grounds for the arctic's large mammals, including polar bears, caribou, and walruses, America's current economic crisis has intensified calls to tap ANWR for the millions of barrels of petroleum believed to be

countries that belong to the OPEC oil cartel. (Petroleum Statistics) The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is an organization consisting of twelve countries that have formally agreed to fix prices and dictates sales rules involving the export of oil to non-member countries.
