Environment At Risk: Oil On Ice
Oil on Ice examines the battle over oil development within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, featuring the dramatic wildlife that adapted to this environment and the cultures of the Gwich’in Athabascan Indians and Inupiat Eskimos that rely on this wildlife for their subsistence.
The issue of oil extraction from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge brings to a sharp focus the broader debate over energy conservation vs. unbridled consumption. It also dramatizes the choice between technologies based on fossil fuels and those that draw upon renewable, efficient, and non-polluting energy resources. The film states the new paradigm is a mode of living with the Earth rather than extracting from the Earth.
