John W. Peterson said "The pink snake that we were shown is a fraud. It is an absolute fraud. That map, if kept in context, would have been millions of acres of ANWR covered. A pipeline going from the wells that would be drilled to the existing Alaskan pipeline would not be visible on that map from this distance. A pipeline in Prudhoe Bay is not something that ruined the Prudhoe Bay area. I am here to say, folks, let us have a debate that is fair and that makes sense. The pink snake has nothing to do with what is going to happen in ANWR. ANWR is our best oil reserve that America has anything to do with.
