The perils of drilling in the Arctic are huge. Every attempt to this point has had problems. We just had a drilling rig crash on a reef. (It was being towed to avoid paying Alaska taxes on the rig and a storm crashed it.) Another rig is facing multiple violations for safety. I found this to be an interesting read. An oil spill in the Arctic will be a disaster. I have spent time with Yupik Eskimos and they are hanging on with the current less than adequate supply of Salmon, whale, bear, moose and caribou - covering the
Arctic with oil will make a bad situation even worse for a people who rely on nature to keep them alive.
