DECEMBER 15, 2000 Now that George W. Bush is set to become President, the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge may soon lie in this hands. Bush has supported opening up the refuge to development as part of his national energy policy. Opening up the refuge would affect various Alaska Natives, some of whom support Bush because they stand to gain economically. Others Natives and environmentalists are strongly opposed. Vice President Al Gore opposed development in the refuge. President Bill Clinton may declare the refuge a national monument before he leaves office. Get the Story:
