Drilling in the Arctic - Bye, Bye clean environment for sea life and wildlife.

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.
