“‘A petition seeking Endangered Species Act protection for a rare loon that breeds in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve has been accepted for review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,’ noted a May 29, 2007 Associated Press article. ‘Conservationists hope an eventual listing of the yellow-billed loon will curb petroleum development in the 23-million acre reserve that covers much of Alaska’s North Slope.’ So, at a time when a $100 barrel of oil makes economies around the world quiver, the ‘conservationists’ are more interested in a yellow-billed loon than in your ability to drive to work, pick up the kids at school, or just go anywhere in your car.” (11/27/07)
