a) A problem the United States faces today is the decision of whether or not drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) would be more beneficial than detrimental to the overall well-being of our country in relation to the environment, economy, and foreign affairs. The debate has gone on for years, with different congresses making different decisions as power has shifted from party to party. Environmentalists make the claim that drilling in ANWR will destroy the landscape and habitat of many wild animals, while economists and the local residents of ANWR state that the pipeline will bring jobs and revenue to local governments as well as the national government.
b) After conducting research of the debate on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and reading claims by economists, local residents, and environmentalists, it is clear that drilling in Alaska will greatly benefit the United States both economically and in foreign affairs.
