Hi guys,

Here's a info I found:

http://www.ehow.com/facts_4830497_positive-effects-oil-drilling.html
- very general on positive effects from drilling
http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?recordid=10639
- national academy of sciences 2003 report
"The revenue stream created by oil development on the North Slope
has led to profound social and economic changes, many of which
residents consider to be positive, the committee said. Schools,
health care, housing, and other community services have improved. At
the same time, however, balancing the economic benefits of oil
activities against the accompanying loss of traditional culture and
other societal problems that can occur is often a dilemma for North
Slope residents. Alcoholism and diabetes have increased, for example"
"But when production of oil and gas from the North Slope has
ceased, equipment, buildings, roads, pads, and other installations
will probably remain in place because of the high costs of
dismantling, removal, and restoration, so some environmental effects
are likely to persist, the committee said. For some areas of concern,
however, the committee found no evidence that environmental effects
have accumulated."
The full report Cumulative Environmental Effects of Oil and Gas
Activities on Alaska's North Slope is a book and is in the eng
library.

Points to talk about infrastructure related:
-oil drilling pads smaller, smaller physical imprint on tundra
-build roads from ice instead of gravel
-increased revenue -> better schools, health care, housing, and other
community services

I would really like to stay for all of my practice so text me to let
me know how it's going. my cell is 703.389.1247
