One of the slides ordsprog

One of the slides we presented shows the boundaries of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. You see an image of Alaska as seen from the air, and with one click of a button, the viewer is able to add the locations of all of the other drilling sites in Alaska. It really drives home that most of Alaska is already open to oil and gas development and there's this one place that we've managed to protect thus far.

The image problems Alaska faces, and the global misconceptions of Alaska, are as great today as when Alaska was mislabeled Seward's Folly.

I think we will open a portion of the Alaskan wildlife refuge (the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) to drilling, ... And we absolutely must address the need for additional refining capacity.

There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.

If anything, Katrina has spotlighted the increasing perils of our heavy dependence on oil. There is no prospect whatsoever that opening the Arctic Refuge and protected offshore areas to drilling would reduce the nation's energy supply and price vulnerabilities. Whether it comes from off America's coasts, from Alaska's Arctic via an aging aboveground pipeline, or from the politically unstable Middle East, oil is an increasingly vulnerable energy source. Heavy oil dependence leaves our economy wide open to price and supply shocks.

It's designed to protect Big Oil while mistakenly believing that drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will solve America's energy problems.

There are more sites in Alaska than in any other state that have applied for Universal Service Program subsidies, but so far not a single penny has come to the state of Alaska, any health care provider or any telephone company for Universal Service support. It's been very frustrating.

What is reasonable to say is that (the Alaska refuge) could represent between 5 and 10 percent of our national production for a period of 20 to 30 years.

Alaskans deserve a coastal management program that works for Alaska. This is another example of the federal government dictating from afar program requirements that don't make sense in Alaska.

We could be drilling in Alaska right now; we could be drilling off the coasts of several other states, ... It would make a difference today if we were not as restrictive as we've been in the last 20 years about where we drill.

Han hanterade kritik med ett lugnt och pe𝗑igt humör. The Republican leadership has every intention of putting language allowing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge back into this bill in conference,

If you were to look at Alaska simply with its corporate tax code compared to the rest of the United States, it would rank very poorly because it's a very complicated corporate tax system, very high tax rates, but that is offset and balanced by the fact that Alaska does not have a personal income tax and does not have a sales tax.

The Republican Senate has shown its true colors?it is clear by their overwhelming support for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that they have no respect for the environment.
