Alaska's Wilderness Save or Drill

Author's Note: In this story we will learn that weather to drill or not to drill in Alaska's Wilderness.
 
I believe that we shouldn’t drill for oil in Alaska’s wilderness, because if we do drill there it will only decrease the foreign oil income by 4%. Also if we do it will destroy the environment. So I believe that we should not drill in Alaska’s Wilderness.

If we decide to drill in Alaska then it will cost billions to move equipment, ship the oil and to pay the workers. Even if it creates jobs then they will have to make more homes in the area for the workers and their families to live. When they are done drilling for oil then it will also take billions to move the materials back to where ever they got them from.

When they start to drill for oil in Alaska, then it will start to destroy their ecosystem. Plus all the animals and other things that live in the wilderness will start to die off; animals like elk, deer, bears, foxes and other animals die or move away because of the pollution. Also then the environment will start to be destroyed and they will lose some of their resources.

It will affect the people of Alaska because it will destroy some of their valuable resource. Some of the resources they will lose will be their water sources and fire wood. Also if people want to go out in the wilderness they can’t because they don’t have one.
