Donvitoviti,
Interesting figures. I've seen a show about the same thing once, and the footprint left by an oil facility would be very small.
It seems, though, like a last ditch effort because the cost of oil is going up. I believe the oil in Alaska is called the "Strategic Reserve," and had more to do with existing for military purposes and national dependance.
Is it any coincidence that oil is at nearly it's highest cost ever?
If it's 2005 and we're dipping into the strategic reserve, than something is terribly, terribly wrong. In this day and age the government should be putting it's heads together and looking to the people who want to forge a new path for the sake of climate control/pulluting the earth less.
Since money is by all means a component of this, I don't see how major oil companies are not yet starting offshoot companies to move away from oil and into other things. Maybe they are, who knows.
But in my opinion, I think every company would want to be at the forefront of that and get there to make the $$$ before the other guy.
