Should the US Drill for Oil in Alaska?

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page summation and evaluation of two articles on whether to drill for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Dwight R. Lee, in his article “To Drill or Not to Drill: Let the Environmentalists Decide,” and Amory B. Lovins and H. Hunter Lovins, in their article “Fool’s Gold in Alaska,” each address this question. Both the pro and con sides of this debate are well represented in these articles; however, examination of these two positions reveals that the position that Lovins and Lovins take against drilling is the most persuasive due to the fact that their observations address broader issues that are not considered by Lee.
