...which would have to be drilled IS only about three square miles, regardless of what The Crimson wants to believe. Though The Crimson also decries Prudhoe Bay as a polluted mess, Prudhoe Bay development has been successful and responsibility is improving.

It would be horrific if the refuge became a new Prudhoe Bay, a polluted oil field with 1,500 miles of roads and pipelines, 1,400 producing wells and 60 contaminated waste sites...
