I've been in favor of some oil development, particularly in the Alaska Native Wilderness Reserve (ANWR) due to the limited nature of the environmental impact, and LINKED TO STRONG CONSERVATION measures, such as a strong tax on gasoline at the pump.

NOT disappointed in Obama.

And as expected, the Conservatives/ Republicans are finding all sorts of fault with even this measure, although the smarter Alaskans have been pleasantly surprised, and said so.
