One reason‚ is that drilling creates jobs. For example‚ a quote from “Top Ten Reasons to Support ANWR Development” is “Jobs will be created between 250‚000 ANWR jobs and 750‚000” This shows that drilling in ANWR will give so many people‚ paid jobs. The article “Drill here. Drill now. Drill ANWR.” says that for every barrel of oil‚ United States gains $135.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge‚ or ANWR‚ is a refuge geared toward preserving national wildlife in northeastern Alaska. ANWR is about 19 million acres‚ in space‚ and contains a potential drilling spot for oil and petroleum. The potential drilling spot is a small area known as the 10-02 Area. It is only 1.5 million acres‚ or 8%‚ of ANWR‚ would even be considered for development (What is ANWR). The controversy surrounding ANWR is whether to drill or not to drill into the 10-02 area.
