One of the things slipped into the new tax law passed by the Republican Congress (and signed by Trump) is a provision that allows drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. But like the tax law as a whole, a majority of Americans don't like this provision that will allow oil companies to desecrate our public land.
Only 35% think it's OK to drill for oil in the ANWR, while 53% say it's the wrong thing to do. Once again, the Republicans have done something the American people don't want. They claim it's to stop the dependence on foreign oil, but the public would rather see that accomplished by increasing the use of clean and renewable resources.
