Check History of Drilling in Alaska - Prudhoe Bay
I've just learned that in the '60s - '70s they gave some of the same arguments for drilling in Prudhoe Bay. And did you know the oil pumped out of there does NOT go to America? It does NOT lower our dependence on imported oil. Nor does it make that oil cheaper. That's right - it is pumped from public land for next to nothing, and sold to the highest bidder. The only return we get is... oil spills. So how does it benefit America?
