The U.S. should not drill for oil in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge because it would endanger animals, they wouldn’t make a lot of money, and pollution would damage the environment. A recent U.S. department of energy (DOE) assessment says there is ‘’ Considerable Uncertainty regarding both the size and quality of the oil resources that exist in ANWR.’’ Even if it is 7-7 barrels a day that will be able to recover the current upper limits of ANWR oil production is the transportation of TAPS( Trans Alaska Pipeline System), or about 2.136 million barrels a day. About everyday the United States burns at least 21 million barrels.

wouldn’t make much of money because it could only last for half a year( 6 months) if we solely rely on it. The U.S. that the money spent imports of oil on (150 billion) per year would not be offset by revenues made from drilling for oil in even the first 5 years ( 4.2 billion) which it not even close to what we pay for importing oil from other countries. We also wouldn’t make much money because of our consumption rates of oil. Our oil importing that we buy would only be going down by 4%.
Drilling for oil in ANWR would also start pollution. For example,’’ Prudoe Bay drilling was turned into a big industrial area full of scrapped metal, garbage, and more than 60 contaminated waste sites’’. We will start pollution because of our exhaust and machinery systems. Exhaust systems can cause pollution because of what chemicals they have in them like diesel trucks. Oil is filled with a lot of chemicals.
If we drill for oil we will not lower oil prices. EDF economist Gernot Wagner explained why drilling won’t lead to lower oil and gas prices. What’s mainly driving high oil prices today, he said, is increasing demands. And the increase, in large parts, is due to newly mobile millions around the world who have been lifted out of poverty in the last few decades. DOE predicts that world oil demand between 2010 and 2015 will increase by
