I’m from Ohio so definitely looking from a different perspective than you. The territory of Alaska was purchased by the United States, the federal government. Because of its strategic location and resources, the land not already in private hands at purchase or granted to the territory/state, has been retained by the federal government, owned by all US residents until such time as whatever land is released to the state or directly to individuals. I’d like to have the 400 acres next to my farm but if the owner wishes to hang on to it (in your case, the federal government) there isn’t much I can do. My neighbor’s land goes back to their ancestors being granted land via president Andrew Jackson so they are intent on hanging on to it. Your neighbor, the federal government, is just doing what every neighboring land owner does…holding on thinking something better is ahead of them there in that beautiful state. It may not seem so irritating if you look at it that way. Besides, that land IS partially yours because the feds are by the people, for the people.

The US was self-sufficient in oil in 2018 and 2019 chiefly due to initiatives by President Trump. Over 20 million barrels a day were being produced and US companies were exporting oil to other countries. After the disputed 2020 election, however, oil production was restricted, drilling permits rescinded and national resources invested in green energy technology like wind and solar. The US lost its oil-independence, became dependent on oil imports and the price at the gas-pump doubled, then tripled. There's no scientific evidence that burning fossil fuels causes either global warming, global cooling or changes in climate. Since 1998, researchers have discovered, and published, that polar bear populations have increased dramatically. In some areas, bounties are being offered to hunters to shoot them.

When I was a child, we were taught about oil and told that it's from dinasors and plants. WHY don't we find oil where we find dinosaur bones? HOW did the dinosaurs get miles under ground? And there must of been hundreds of trillions of them. Because we never have run out! How about if you told the truth. No one really knows how oil is formed. No one really knows how much oil there is. No one in Washington D.C. that holds power, really knows how we will be able to recharge all of the electric cars. Thank you for taking the time to read this. 😊

Oil is probably formed similar to coal -- from accumulated vegetation in old swamps and marshes which were eventually buried deep under ground.

[@johnstuart3851]

@@jamesgoode9246 You are correct. Not 'probably', this is fact. Most petroleum deposits begin as coal. Deep burial with heat and high pressure, over millions of years eventually transforms coal into oil.

[@joescott58]

@@bradc32 what ones are you referring to? We’ve been on our oil fields here in Alaska less than 100 yrs. I’ve been all over them. We’ve dug gravel to build roads & drill pads. Those ponds benefit birds from all over the world. The Caribou lay behind the roads &pads. They use them to get out of the Arctic’s relentless wind. The Caribou calf’s have a much higher survival rate as a direct result. The herds have blossomed. Now the bears, wolves, and Arctic fox have a much bigger menu; because, the predators have more birds to eat. Everything wild is increasingly getting more plentiful & generally healthier by man’s presence in our Arctic North. Even getting the oil is beneficial as it leaks from the river bottoms all on its own regardless of man’s presence. This I’ve personally witnessed. So when we harvest the mineral that earth generates there is less of it being squirted into the habitat like popping a giant pimple on earths face. This directly benefits the environment as less crude in the grd is less environmental negative impact. It’s not perfect, but it is by far the lesser of evils. These are documented SCIENTIFIC FACTS. One simply needs to study it out instead of listening to msm; because, they won’t tell you the truth. It’s all politics with them. So believe the hundreds of thousands of us ‘eye witnesses’ that have seen it in 1 st person. Or remain ignorant of reality.

As a nuclear engineer, and knowing we have 300-years of nuclear fuel resources available to meet our Country’s energy needs, I’m a fan of electric transportation. That said, how do we get there? We need to use our fossil fuel resources, while we continue to develop our renewable resources and infrastructure. A bright spot is how Alaska goes about it. Absent regulation, I’m dubious they would be so clean, but today they’re doing a magnificent job compared to any other oil patch on the planet. …and we need to acknowledge this effort. But climate change is real, and if we stopped using fossil fuel resources tomorrow, it would still get worse. In 20-years you’re going to see brown polar bears, crows above the Arctic circle, and sailing in an ice free arctic for most months of the year.
