Yes or no to arctic drilling?

Based on this information, I think that arctic drilling can take a break. First, drilling can be done anywhere in the world. So why in the ocean? Second, oil spills can leak oil into the ocean. Oil is a very dangerous substance. It is toxic, which means it could kill living things. So if there was an oil spill, anything living in the ocean would die. And third, there are no safety regulations that can prevent people from the dangers. Since people don’ t have rules on arctic drilling, they could drill carelessly. This would obviously not be safe. So until there are ways to protect these hazards, in my opinion, arctic drilling should not be allowed.
