There are no wells in Barrow. The nearest oilfield is about 200 miles to the SE. There is no refinery north of Fairbanks. There are no roads to Barrow. Fuel must be flown in (emergencies only) or barged in during the summer and stored.
Ergo, fuel is EXPEN$IVE in Barrow$$$ Same with food, building materials, etc., etc.
I've been to Barrow. If the universe has an anus, its in Barrow...

Isn't Barrow the end of the road? I heard Tom Bodett left there and moved to New England somewhere.

I hate to disagree with you, but got to set the record straight. There is a small refinery on the slope! Right there at discovery well, it's a little cracker, with, get this, a wooden floor! Yuppers, did a refit there years ago. When we poured the electrical seal-offs in November, don't think they cured till June!
If you fly in to Barrow, there are two gas wells there that I could see in the 90's.
