Permit. and then once you spend billions to build the port and the pipeline and the roads and all of that, you say, well, we need to expand. >> theres a lot of gold and copper and silver in the ground out there. and we do not have any current plans to expand beyond what were talking about with this permit. but it wouldnt be surprise me if somebody, us or someone else, doesnt do that in the future. >> theyre basically talking about putting 175-mile gash across this pristine habitat. >> reporter: ...

This habitat. >> reporter: drew sees this first piece of survey equipment as the beginning of the end of this wilderness as we know it. what do you say to the argument that this means jobs, this means an infusion into the alaska economy? >> there are already jobs here. look at homer and the bear viewing industry. there are millions of dollars being made here. you look at the other side of the mountain, there are tens, millions of dollars being generated in a fashion that can be sustained for dec...
