Why should you not drill for oil in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

because you could ruin it
There is no real reason not to drill. The area that would be drilled is a tiny chunk of a glacial wasteland. ANWR is a HUGE place. All of the environmentalist videos focus on the small, temperate chunks of the park during the warm season. Most of it is ice and rock. You could drench most of this area in oil, and you would only inconvenience a few birds, who would move to another section of barren wasteland in a few minutes.
The caribou population will likely boom as a result the heated pipeline. It turns out that even animals that spend most of their lives in the Arctic hate the cold, and they like to get frisky in the warmth of the pipelines that are already in the region. ANWR's caribou and other animal populations might see a similar increase. This might be dangerous for a few plants, but it will not destroy the park.
Terrorism against the pipeline is a risk, but since the pipeline will travel through a mostly-barren wilderness, an attack on it would not do much good. Of course, if there is no drilling in ANWR, we will have to buy oil from places like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, who fund terrorism.
