Question: Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Be Open to Drilling?

Assignment:

Visit the following links to learn about drilling the ANWR:

• ANWR Debate
• ANWR Drilling Still Advocated in 2010 - A Pro-drilling Site
• Defenders of Wildlife - A No-drilling Site
• Any other ANWR websites you might be able to find

Then answer these questions:

• List five questions that you would want answered before you made a decision on drilling in ANWR.
• While formulating your questions, think broadly about the issues involved, not just economics.
• Papers should be written with a word processor. You must either submit your work as a document file attached to an e-mail to your instructor or print your response before coming to class.
