They Never Show You This About Alaska!

Embark on a riveting journey through the captivating landscapes of Alaska, known widely as the "Last Frontier". But beyond its pristine beauty lies a controversial battle over the black gold - crude oil. This documentary delves deep into the U.S.'s dependence on Alaskan oil, juxtaposing it against the undeniable environmental and societal costs.
🔍 Part 1: The Crude Reality
Dive into the intricacies of the U.S.'s position in the global crude oil industry, backed by data from renowned sources like www.eia.gov. Discover how America's economic engine is closely tied to the throbbing heart of Alaska's oil reserves.
🌿 Part 2: Politics vs. Environment
From the vast oil reserves in Prudhoe Bay to the contentious Willow Project, unravel the political maneuvering that often overshadows environmental concerns. Witness the jarring contrast between political promises and their environmental ramifications.
💔 Part 3: The Cost of Oil
Experience the dichotomy of development versus destruction. While new oil rigs promise economic prosperity, the scars they leave behind on the Alaskan ecosystem speak a different story. Journey through the aftermath of oil spills and witness their haunting impact on Alaska's world and its inhabitants.

And those images of the ice flows falling into the ocean, that's because the planet is moving off its axis putting it right into the sun. And as it falls into the ocean on one side it's freezing up on the other side. And I saved the best part for last, 90% of that ice is already under water, so even if it did all melt the water level will only go up a few feet.

I have been working on the slope for almost 10 years now. I can guarantee the companies go above and beyond on maintaining good relations with the locals and preserving wildlife. The animals thrive everyday up here. A lot of these environmentalists and protesters don’t realize that. What they also don’t realize is that oil is in just about every product a normal consumer uses daily. Also it’s stupid that people in the lower 48 or elsewhere try to act like they know our state and know what’s best. The oil industry is a great infrastructure.

[@garywesthoven1745]

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.

[@zedwpd]

Alaskan security is increased with more Americans that live there. Let more land go into private hands will do this. It's massive, there is plenty of room. The government isnt always right and sometimes seldom is. They took my grandparents town through imminent domain here in Missouri to build a lake on the pretext of increasing the commerce of the area. After they made their dam and flooded the town they didnt allow anyone to own land on the lake so no prosperity came. Monroe County is still very poor and the population has gone from 20k in 1900 to 8k now. @@garywesthoven1745

[@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.

My husband was offered a job in Alaska in early 90s. Welding, the offer was between $50.00 &$100.00 an hour. I told my husband to go by himself.

Bringing stored long term carbon into circulation is the problem, the solution most likely is thorium reactors to make electricity.

[@StevenHanover]

They cant use thorium because that is weapons grade bomb making stuff so the market price of thorium is purposefully manipulated to be unprofitable so terrorosit cant acquire them

[@gregorybrown8756]

I remember when Bill Clinton announced the "hole in the ozone layer" and the start of global warming. The use of the word carbon is just another change in goal posts that happens every time the agenda starts loosing momentum. The whole thing is probably the largest scam ever played on the human race for power and greed.

It's common sense that a varying tilt will affect weather. Also campri flegrei in Italy produces 3000 tons of co2 per day. Look it up

[@erbhotrod6100]

Finally, someone who speaks the truth---the Earth's tilt has everything to do with this and the last time I was in science class CO2 was food for plants !!!

[@thetruthseeker79]

@@erbhotrod6100 Vesuvius pumps out 9000 tons per day, that's 12,000 tons of co2 per day just out of 2 volcanoes. And yes plants thrive and when co2 levels where at its highest living things were bigger. But let's not talk about that, lol

[@joedon1706]

What percent of the atmosphere is CO2? Did you know that all plants and trees need CO2 to survive? Answer to question number one is .04 percent. At .02 percent all plant life will die. Look it up. :) We are being duped about CO2.

This presentation seemed a bit bias toward NOT drilling for oil. Our country and the world needs this industry, which has proven they can be responsible toward the environment. Politics is the BIGGEST PROBLEM with the oil industry.

[@mabusjackson]

The military base pay has gone up to $2800 a month in recent years so rent and common goods have gone up. Everything has to be flown, shipped or ice roaded in so you have to pay for that. The tourist industry is good but you have to make most of your money in 6 months and then you are looking for work in the winter which is few and far between. Sure the oil companies give money to residents but if you think we are swimming in champagne and driving fancy cars then think again. Besides there's very few car lots in Alaska and you have to pay to get a vehicle shipped to you if you want to buy new. And the cost of the gas to go into the vehicle is expensive because they don't have any refineries. So the oil has to be shipped out, refined and shipped back so you have to pay for that. You make it sound like it's going to be all kumbayas but in fact it's ruining the economy! Alaska is the 10th most expensive state to live in and life in Alaska isn't like the fake reality shows on TV. Ponder that.

What about the gold miners that extract gold dust from gold bearing river water? No digging is ever needed, yet the actions of those that do dig shouldn't make people want to dictator out and bann mining

[@josephindahl6388]

without the profits from the oil industry, Alaska would cease to exist in its current form. so many companies are directly related to the oil industry, we cant make that money up with fishing and tourism
