Opinion | We must protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

August 2024 ยท 1 minute read

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska is an amazing public-land place that is sacred to the locals. Every one of us is going to need every square mile of healthy, intact, functioning public land to help this planet survive the stressors that are coming. The final gasp push to sell oil leases from land that belongs to all of us is nearly unanimously opposed โ€” yet administration zealots forge irrationally ahead. If we grab oil from under the ground there and fragment that last best place, we will have about 10 years of oil โ€” starting 30 years from now โ€” that in our best interest, we should not burn.
