I think this article is a hoax
I have never heard of a carribou. What the hell are they, like fake penguines or something. Stupid eviro-eliteists making up fake birds...

Muskrats
In the history section it mentions that muskrats were given the right to select land....what in the hell do muskrats have to do with anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.184.118 (talk) 01:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Two things

 * During a floor session of the Alaska Legislature today, one of the members (I forget which one, but perhaps Anna Fairclough?) read an item that a vote was held today in Congress allowing limited drilling. I haven't looked this up in the news.  Is it relevant to the article?


 * How is File:Alaskaoildrilling.jpg necessarily relevant to the article? 30 miles from Nuiqsut isn't exactly anywhere near ANWR.  Headed in the direction of ANWR, that doesn't even get you to Prudhoe Bay.  If the location of this photo is actually in NPR-A, that just exacerbates the differences in perceptions between NPR-A and ANWR versus the reality.RadioKAOS (talk) 03:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Concept
Pipe + Path of least resistance to Storage for further usage.

Units
The readability of the article as a whole would be improved by standardization of units. My suggestion is: As far as citations are concerned, I trust editors to do the math properly. Use of standard measures will eliminate NPOV problems with hyperbole. Rhadow (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Land area: square miles (km2) acres (ha) ... To address the argument for acres (ha), see below)
 * Oil volume: bbl (m3). Standardize on billions, even if a few citations of millions will look small)
 * Flow: million barrels per day (106 m3/d)


 * The units stuff is still kind of hard on the reader. Stuff like

the opening of ANWR reaches 780,000 barrels per day (124,000 m3/d) in 2027 and then declines to 710,000 barrels per day (113,000 m3/d) in 2030. In the low and high ANWR oil resource cases, additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR peaks in 2028 at 510,000 and 1.45 million barrels per day (231,000 m3/d), respectively.
 * is starts to look like wallpaper. We probably want a lot of these figures expressed in much rounder numbers in the prose, while accompanying the text with tables giving the precise values. Some units are hopeless, like Barrel (unit)s. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:52, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
