Issue #7: Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Be Opened to Oil
Drilling?
Issue #7 was debating whether the oil reserves in the Arctic Circle should be drilled or not. First argument was presented from Dwight R. Lee, who strongly encouraged the drilling process. Amory B. Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins opposed Lee's argument with their own. Both arguments have similar and different points. "Both views agree that nature has a value; however, they disagree on the form that value" (pg118, 1st paragraph). Viewing from an anthropocentric perspective, conservationists say that nature's value lies mainly on its benefits on humans. Preservationists strongly disagree with this.
