The Trump administration thinks we do. And they think we should get it from Alaska, specifically from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This despite the fact that Alaska is the site of the National Petroleum Reserve and already produces oil. Plus, the world's supply of oil is reaching the glut stage and climate change is becoming more dangerous.
And we have the usual questions about treating the occupants. On its 19.6 million acres the Refuge currently houses polar bears, black bears, 200 species of birds, hundreds of thousands of caribou, wolves, muskoxen, and a multitude of other species of wildlife.
