It seems that when they pump oil from the ground it is in barrels, when they spill it it is in gallons. It's a start, though. Maybe they will open some more to entry and claim. Maybe some coal lands, too. Alaskan development has been frozen over a century, excepting oil, and, of course, gold. Hard, even for the Feds, to stop the thundering herd.
