Try researching "federal reclamation laws" and "Alaska Department of Resources-compensations and requirements of leases."
Yes, there will always be damage to the ecosystems no matter what the activity, from mining, driving vehicles over the tundra, building homes, to walking.
It is a balancing act that has been ongoing for over a century. It's a pros and cons debate.
Her post is based on hyperbole and hysteria.
It is my opinion. Perhaps you should try watching the PBS documentary on the history of mineral leasing across the US. (search YouTube)
Many leases are in California, Wyoming, and Colorado, where some of my family lives, has ranches, and farms.
The statistics and facts are from simple Google searches.

Sorry if the truth does not fit your narrative.
Why not? I have zero problems with a ballroom funded by donors.
Completion of the ballroom was scheduled for 2028 (who knows now) but it will be after Trump is out of office, and the next President will host events there.
A pride ball would be elegant in the new ballroom- it would be a fitting location. Again, I have no problem with a pride ball- just the location they chose to host it.
Eighty-two years later, the guns have long fallen silent on the bluffs of Normandy, but the legacy of those men endures. Their courage was measured not in words, but in the ground they gained, the comrades they carried, and the sacrifices they made.

Thank you, I agree that sexual misconduct is reprehensible and has no place in our leaders.
If we are truly committed to standing up for women, then consistency demands action. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts should have John F. Kennedy’s name removed. Neither Kennedy’s nor Trump’s name belongs on the building.
We now know that President Kennedy, a 45-year-old married father of two and the most powerful man in the world, had a sexual relationship with a 19-year-old White House intern. In that position of extreme power imbalance, she had little ability to say no. In many states, this power imbalance is considered sexual assault.
He also had an affair with a German woman later revealed to be a spy, whom he quietly had deported to avoid scandal. He had an affair with a mobsters mistress, while his brother was trying to bust the mob. He had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and many others. I
If we are serious about putting women first, we should not honor this behavior by keeping his name on a national cultural institution. Return the center to its original name: the Washington Cultural Arts Center (or National Cultural Center).
The measures you listed are already the law in Maryland. We have an assault weapons ban, restrictions on high-capacity magazines, a bump stock ban, universal background checks, and a red flag law. Yet gun violence continues.
This isn’t primarily a gun issue. It’s a societal issue.
Until we as a culture once again value all human life, not just our own or those who think like us, gun violence will persist.
Far too many people today act as if only their lives matter, while others are disposable. No law can fix a broken worldview.
The real question is: How do we restore a genuine respect for the sanctity of every human life?
@AlBuffalo2nite What the hell kind of run was that? Not the fall but the run. She was totally useless in this arrest. It is a good thing the person was a woman; a man would have overpowered both of them.
@JoshSeefried I have always wanted to get one of the inflatable tents- they look so cool. Of course, I want to put it in the yard- I don't do roughing it anymore. I like my toilets to flush and a hot shower in the morning.
You keep calling them lawless yet they are enforcing the laws passed by Congress and signed into law in 1996.
If you do not like the law as it us written, then write immigration reform.
Only Congress can write reform, ICE is tasked with following the law the way it is written. That's not lawlessness- that's doing the job they are tasked with.
