  • 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)
