Comparison of ANWR with tar sands and oil shales

I'd like to see some comments and analysis from the petroleum, energy, and
environmental afficiandos regarding the relative environmental from the
proposed exploration and exploitation of the ANWR deposits vis-a-vis that
is known to be happening the Alberta tar sands and the potential
exploration of CO/WY oil shales.

The ANWR issue is certainly a divisive political one. I've heard much
rhetoric from both political extremes with little of a supporting factual
nature. But, how would a worse-case environmental scenario in ANWR
compare with stripmining the Green River oil shales, for example. What
would be the best-case scenario for ANWR?
