Canadian companies are the major owners, voting yes only insures clean
water(prop 4), I think we can have fisheries and mining, why does it have
to
none or all? I think if its not mined now it will still be underground

the oil runs out. Why screw fishermen with fish contaminated with arsenic?
Oil bubbles to the earth surface naturally, I would rather see oil
drilling
at this time, technology for mining will improve.
Why can't American companies mine in Alaska? If barack gets elected, I
sup****t his view to tax outsourcing.
