It's the usual...those whom stand to gain financially are for it whereas those who don't are against it. The majority of Americans are against it because they can see that bottom line there is no gain for them. Some tribes, Oil companies, the State of AK, Stevens and his cronies, BushCo all stand to gain. I've said it before, I don't believe ANWR has anything really to do with oil. If it were the industry wouldn't have tried to conceal their estimates on the amount of possible oil in ANWR. It's about all the $$ a few stand to gain and mostly from tax payer subsidies.
