The EPA gives the go-ahead, after air quality issues were addressed. That's good. Everyone else has opened up their Arctic waters to drilling, so we should too.
I just wish like hell, that people would realize that this does VERY LITTLE for America. Oil production is dumped into a Global Market, and OPEC can offset any increase in production elsewhere. This oil does not belong to America. We are giving it to rich companies for pennies, so they can make rich stock-holder people, richer.
In my opinion, that means they can all pay some more taxes. Drill baby drill...
