Trump administration looks to open ANWR to energy exploration
Washington Post:
Administration aims to resume Arctic drilling after more than 30 yearsThe restrictions on drilling in ANWR are more about the anti-energy left's agenda thana bout what is best for Alaska and US energy production. Democrats would rail about the high price of oil while restricting the supply as if that had nothing to do with the price. The restrictions have always been absurd. Arguments that a barren wasteland was "pristine" are ridiculous.
Interior Department officials are modifying a 1980s regulation to lay the groundwork for energy exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for the first time in three decades, according to documents obtained by The Post. Alaska officials have worked for years to restart certain studies, although environmental groups probably would mount a court challenge.
