You can't grow a tree up in proposed drilling area, and I've got a couple living just a few yards away from the pump in question. Point is, unless you're looking right at it you wouldn't know is there. I doubt it (or the many others in the area) are doing anything significant to the local wildlife. Just makes it an interesting topic for me to think about and research lately is all.

But for sake of argument lets say that it is. Would you have the same opinion if you had 30 rigs around your home along with heavy traffic due to the volume of oil being pumped? My guess is that you probably would have looked elsewhere. I really don't care one way or the other what they do to ANWR. Frankly, I don't think the oil we'll get from there is going to have a large impact (if any at all) on our requirement for foreign oil. On the flip side...I don't plan on going to ANWR to see the pretty birds anytime soon either.
