Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican Party nominee for Vice-President of the United States Sarah Palin supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR.)TIME: Palin on the Environment: Far Right (September 1, 2008)
Palin on ANWR
Palin supports opening 2,000 acres of the refuge to drilling, and she often notes that this is a small percentage of the nearly 20 million acres in the refuge. However, critics have pointed out that those 2,000 acres are spread throughout the refuge and the roads created to link the different sites would harm the wildlife and beauty of the refuge.TIME: Palin on the Environment: Far Right (September 1, 2008)Quotes
