 Not mine, I've been for drilling there all along. I'd be shocked if it ever happened, though, since the public has been told that it's pristine arctic wilderness and any drilling will lead to the certain death of any critters.
 
High oil prices should solve all of our environmental ills since it forces people to cut down on their driving and consumption.  It should be celebrated.
