Alaska is screwed, because the only reason you would drill for oil in the north sea is because everywhere else in America is closed to drilling.
Prudho bay was a scam to make drilling so hard to accomplish that nobody could make money at it. Nobody except Americans that is...
Speaking of lifting bans, how about lifting the Barbara Boxer memorial ban on incandescent light bulbs. It was always my opinion this that this moronic midget made lots of dough by first investing in companies that made CFL’s just before the ban was passed.
So maybe that wouldn’t make her moronic, would it? Okay, just enormously corrupt and, as a result, richer.
Drill, baby, drill!
It most certainly is. I worked in Prudhoe/Harrison bays in the summer of '84 on a seismic boat. We were shooting lines for Texaco who, along with a bunch of other oil companies, had just lost their ass on a venture they called "Mukluk". It was full of promise from seismic data from that area late 70's - early 80's, but came up a big dry hole.
