Proponents of opening the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil development consistently argue that oil drilling will not harm the environment of the Arctic Refuge. Check out a report that assesses those claims by comparing them with the documented impact of past and present North Slope oil development.

The Alaska Coalition has also commissioned a study comparing jobs produced by drilling in the Arctic Refuge with jobs produced by energy efficiency and alternative energy measures.  To learn more, click here.
