It's ANWR, but politicians and others with an agenda like to make everything into an acronym to suck all the life out of the term. Lots of talk about "small footprints" blah blah. It is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and some think that the answer to all our problems is more oil! In reality, the huge oil lobby and the record profits received by oil companies has gone a long way to making the case to feed us more oil. It's all about the money.
Realistically speaking, and looking at trends past and present, the more oil we have the more we'll use. Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is just a slippery slope that offers no real solution.
For some research and opinions on the matter:

The following link is pushing a pro-drill agenda. This one's pretty funny, complete with pictures of animals interacting with oil pipelines to prove that there's no effect on wildlife.
