doesn't drilling in alaska depend of the use of ice roads? if warming continues, won't ice roads become bogs?
then what?

1. Why do you want to drill ANWR for anyways
I would think the NATIONAL PETROLUEM RESERVE would be a better place to produce oil from.

2. The permafrost is melted so much of the time, we already have
trouble accessing our EXISTING oil infrastructure up there more than about 3 months a year, IIRC.

One MORE reason why ANWAR oil is a lost cause......

Online. And not a blog, but reputable published journalism, IIRC.
