Current Status of the Alaska Oil Drilling
Oil drilling in Alaska has been a concern for awhile, but hasn’t be debated much since around the 1980s. A few more than half of the Senate does not want to see oil drilling in Alaska, therefore it has remained this way. The vote on the nineteenth of March shows that a 52-48 vote was against drilling. In 1980, Senator Ted Stevens R-Alaska argued that Congress had made a commitment that the oil beneath the coastal plain would eventually be put into barrels. ... Environmentalists continue to argue that it would not just affect the site of the drilling, but the animals miles away too. ... 7 to 16 billion barrels of oil is located under the tundra, the US only consumes about 20 million barrels a day.
