Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published December 2, 2016 (volume 26, issue 42)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Arctic Development-Is Further Oil Drilling Good for the Arctic: Pro"by Kara Moriarty, President and CEO of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association "Arctic Development-Is Further Oil Drilling Good for the Arctic: Con"by Dune Lankard, Alaska Representative for the Center for Biological Diversity par. 1The Arctic is much more than a source of energy resources and natural beauty. It is home to thousands of Alaska Natives who understand the link between energy resource development, infrastructure needs and the vibrant ecosystem that supports a subsistence lifestyle. Not to mention, the Alaskans who live here overwhelmingly support developing our Arctic resources — more than 70 percent want to see more oil and gas development in the Arctic, including offshore. par. 2The United States and Alaska are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the emerging opportunities becoming available in the Arctic, but they can do so only if vibrant private-public partnerships can flourish. As other Arctic countries like Russia rush to develop the Arctic for their own benefit, America is in danger of being left behind. par. 3The Arctic desperately needs infrastructure as more activity comes to the region. Fortunately, companies that want to do business in the Arctic stand ready to spend the billions of dollars required to develop infrastructure. Oil and gas companies are experts at developing world-class infrastructure in sensitive environments. These companies regularly spend billions in Alaska building roads and bridges, health and safety facilities, search-and-rescue operations, airstrips and hangars and other facilities that improve the quality of life in a remote and underdeveloped part of the world. This infrastructure provides immense benefit to Arctic communities that would not otherwise enjoy such amenities. par. 4As engagement in the Arctic becomes urgent, accelerating energy development will expand the nation's footprint in an area that is strategically important. The newly open waters are multiplying U.S. security concerns, prompting Coast Guard Rear Adm. Daniel Abel to state, “Just the amount of new open water I have to deal with is the size of 45 percent of the continental U.S.” par. 5The choice for the United States is whether to lead in the Arctic or sit on the sidelines and watch as other countries pursue the opportunities offered in the region. With one-third of the nation's oil and gas reserves, Alaska is poised to support Arctic development for decades and in turn continue to be an energy heartland to the United States. By using proven technology to safely and responsibly drill for oil and gas in the Arctic, America stands to benefit from economic growth, development of robust infrastructure and improved national security. par. 1I've been hearing about drilling in the Arctic all my life. For Native Alaskans, it's one of those discussions that never seems to end. But the truth is, there's no way to make drilling safe — and it's time to finally put an end to it. par. 2More drilling will only push us deeper into the very climate crisis that's driving the tragic transformation of the Arctic, where sea ice has hit record lows and polar bears and ice seals that rely on that ice for survival face the very real prospect of disappearing forever. It's profoundly depressing to bear witness to what's happening in the Arctic because of climate change. We have a moral obligation to make sure it doesn't get worse. par. 3If a major offshore oil spill occurred, there would be no way to clean it up. If you thought the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster was bad, imagine the same scenario in a place that's prone to hurricane-force storms, 20-foot swells, sea ice, frigid temperatures and seasonal darkness. In some cases the nearest Coast Guard facility is 1,000 miles away. par. 4Alaska, sadly, already knows the damage that the oil industry can do. par. 5Prince William Sound has never fully recovered from 1989's Exxon Valdez oil spill, an event that changed my life and that of my Native Alaskan fishing community forever. I've been a commercial and subsistence fisherman for decades, so everyone should know that the herring have yet to recover from the spill. par. 6An oil spill in the Arctic could destroy the livelihoods of the people who depend on a clean environment for hunting and fishing. The Arctic is a national treasure that supports a rich diversity of wildlife, but oil drilling and infrastructure would put caribou, polar bears, birds, whales, ice seals, salmon and the traditional communities that depend on them in harm's way. My brothers and sisters in Arctic communities are already being displaced by rising seas and depleted hunting and fishing grounds. par. 7A recent study found that carbon emissions from current drilling projects would take us beyond 2 degrees Celsius of warming. And scientists have warned that all Arctic oil must be left untapped if we are to meet our climate goals. par. 8Arctic drilling just doesn't make sense — not for the planet and not for those of us who call Alaska home.
