@@normanscottsailing480 Thanks for that response. So, this whole Climate garbage about the environment put out by the globalists (WEF) is a bunch of bunk.
Travel up to Prudhoe Bay sometime. The animals are thriving. They love the oil infrastructure. It shelters them. The construction is safe and sound. I was very impressed.
Was thinking same thing. I lived in AK and have been there as well, and it is such a small area of the coast of Alaska a mere speck on the map. It's pretty clear who did this video.
I lived there for 20 years. I have been to Prudhoe Bay as well. My husband worked there. I can agree, the wildlife are abundant and happily living among the wells and gathering centers.
In the 70s hurds of thousands of caribou crossing the road in Prudhoe would take several minutes to cross. Grabbed an antler out the window once, not advisable. They loved the oil field, more gravel and less skeeters, no hunting, and a big pipeline to rub on
16 years working on the north slope and I can say it’s one of the cleanest oilfields out there and the animals are so protected we have to stop our trucks and wait for animals to cross , drilling sites will get shut down if a den is found near ! They use pipe lines for shade, doyon drilling give 100s of remote village natives high quality jobs that they would never have access to otherwise, The oilfield is not hurting anything and it’s helping Alaskas economy
I'm not going to argue about energy. But I will say that done correctly in any state. America 🇺🇸 must be energy independent. To rely on, be dependent on another country is not in our best interest. Gold mining makes the beautiful landscape of Alaska look terrible. But I don't hear those environmentalists hollering Foul about it. Put it this way, I aim to keep America 🇺🇸 free, free of dependence on any other country.
Gold mining using dredges DID make alska look terrible....and everywhere else dredges were used, but they haven't been used in over 50 years! Most gold mining in Alaska and elsewhere in the USA is quite restricted. Near my home is a gold mine which has been producing for about 8 years that FEW people if ANY outside of a few know about! It's within 100 yards off a main road, but most people don't know it's there! Last year it took out about 3 million dollars worth of gold!
Of the 47 minerals needed for national independence, Alaska has 43 of those elements. Oil is just the tip of the iceberg of our resourses. While we in Alaska have experienced oil spills, our state and federal EPA has it's posted rules and petroleum companies have their clean up procedure and it does work. Exxon Mobil oil spill in the past was our learning curve.
I have been working on the slope for almost 10 years now. I can guarantee the companies go above and beyond on maintaining good relations with the locals and preserving wildlife. The animals thrive everyday up here. A lot of these environmentalists and protesters don’t realize that. What they also don’t realize is that oil is in just about every product a normal consumer uses daily. Also it’s stupid that people in the lower 48 or elsewhere try to act like they know our state and know what’s best. The oil industry is a great infrastructure. If you don’t believe that, get a job working for an oil company, or better yet, get a job on an oilfield and really see what it’s about, I guarantee your minds gonna change for the better 😎
What do many seem to forget when speaking about oil is most oil is not used for gasoline and diesel for our cars. I've read it's as low as 30 percent.

You have no concept of how immense Alaska is and how little space oil infrastructure actually takes. The environment is only an excuse. Through natural disasters, climate changes throughout history, and ebbs and flows of food resources animals have done just fine. Nature always finds a way.
I’m from Ohio so definitely looking from a different perspective than you. The territory of Alaska was purchased by the United States, the federal government. Because of its strategic location and resources, the land not already in private hands at purchase or granted to the territory/state, has been retained by the federal government, owned by all US residents until such time as whatever land is released to the state or directly to individuals. I’d like to have the 400 acres next to my farm but if the owner wishes to hang on to it (in your case, the federal government) there isn’t much I can do. My neighbor’s land goes back to their ancestors being granted land via president Andrew Jackson so they are intent on hanging on to it. Your neighbor, the federal government, is just doing what every neighboring land owner does…holding on thinking something better is ahead of them there in that beautiful state. It may not seem so irritating if you look at it that way. Besides, that land IS partially yours because the feds are by the people, for the people.
Alaskan security is increased with more Americans that live there. Let more land go into private hands will do this. It's massive, there is plenty of room. The government isnt always right and sometimes seldom is. They took my grandparents town through imminent domain here in Missouri to build a lake on the pretext of increasing the commerce of the area. After they made their dam and flooded the town they didnt allow anyone to own land on the lake so no prosperity came. Monroe County is still very poor and the population has gone from 20k in 1900 to 8k now. @@garywesthoven1745
Sorry but I am sick of the term "delicate ecosystem". Every ecosystem you can name gets categorized as delicate. But historical records show that life evolves to meet the current challenge. It may not be over night. But it will find a way.
As long as oil companies are forced to behave, drilling and development can be done without the usual pollution and destruction. Alaska is proof. But it requires serious oversight to keep oil companies under control.
One thing that most people don't know about oil is...There are different grades of crude oil. The oil from Alaska Northern Slope, is of a grade that can't be used in America. So it is shipped over seas...
It definitely could be if it is not. If it is not used on us shores it is because no one has invested in any new refineries since the mid 70s. So you can once again blame our government for getting in the way.
FYI....the grade of oil is true. I use to live in Alaska, and had friends in the oil business. You are right that the EPA, Feds have prevented any new refineries from being built. But, the current ones do get shut down for upgrades.@@joshuaplacka8480
I have worked up in the oil fields of Alaska, we have developed tech that leaves little to no impact on the environment. And Alaska has enough oil to supply the U.S. and other countries. I know this because I was born and raised up there.
Do you guys remember when they had us vote on the pipeline ? We we're going to at last have reasonable fuel prices.. I'm paying $5.50+ a gallon and it's ALL shipped in from down south.
It's disinformation alright, but it looks more like soft/white propaganda on behalf of Conoco Phillips. And you want to talk about something that will become unnoticed? How about an additional 180,000 bl/day production? Just do the numbers.
@@tomschwab9230 -- What are you talking about? That big oil spill happened from a ship in the ocean. And, that was the real problem -- clean up is easier on land.
As a nuclear engineer, and knowing we have 300-years of nuclear fuel resources available to meet our Country’s energy needs, I’m a fan of electric transportation. That said, how do we get there? We need to use our fossil fuel resources, while we continue to develop our renewable resources and infrastructure. A bright spot is how Alaska goes about it. Absent regulation, I’m dubious they would be so clean, but today they’re doing a magnificent job compared to any other oil patch on the planet. …and we need to acknowledge this effort. But climate change is real, and if we stopped using fossil fuel resources tomorrow, it would still get worse. In 20-years you’re going to see brown polar bears, crows above the Arctic circle, and sailing in an ice free arctic for most months of the year. My point is this, find some balance in your ideology, your rhetoric, and most importantly, your belief system. Many hard working scientists, engineers and policy makers are seeking sustainable solutions to a sustainable-life… for us all!
@ let’s just call it Freedom Energy and forget the drama from those who want chaos, and not realistic solutions to our common problems. What do you think?
I thought this would be a ballanced unbiased look at the issue. Until I looked into your hashtags and home page. The majority of Alaskan oil doesn't go to the US. It goes to SE Asia. The oil for Washington Refineries comes from British Columbia and Alberta
As bad as I personally hate it we are over 33 trillions of dollars in debt. The United States has to do something about this situation. Energy Independence is what made us a super power. Now is the time to drill because of technological advances there will be a new source of energy that will replace fossil fuels.
The US was self-sufficient in oil in 2018 and 2019 chiefly due to initiatives by President Trump. Over 20 million barrels a day were being produced and US companies were exporting oil to other countries. After the disputed 2020 election, however, oil production was restricted, drilling permits rescinded and national resources invested in green energy technology like wind and solar. The US lost its oil-independence, became dependent on oil imports and the price at the gas-pump doubled, then tripled. There's no scientific evidence that burning fossil fuels causes either global warming, global cooling or changes in climate. Since 1998, researchers have discovered, and published, that polar bear populations have increased dramatically. In some areas, bounties are being offered to hunters to shoot them.
That's because Trump is the best president we've had in the last 100 years. People's hate of him is manufactured, and they're too stupid to even know it.
We never hit 19 either , that was our consumption . We were producing somewhere between 16 and 17.5 , at the most . BTW that is oil and gas equivalent , not crude . Back 2006 we were around 11 or 12 , increased some then leveled off , but 100 dollar oil will bring up the production to 17 , our infrastructure can not handle even that number , hence the sway in fuel prices .
GOOD 👍 🎉 We can't afford to take for granted and lose this miracle planet. It's time for Alternative Creative Innovation. A different approach and way of living that is more Benevolent for the HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL LIFE. If we Don't wake up This will be our DEMISE. Man dosen't Deserve to be here 😤 EVIDENCE Unbalanced Humans equate to Unbalanced Earth 🌎
Well, I knew there was another reason why I refused to re-elect Trump. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should have been left alone by Trump! If you look at its size compared to the size of the state, it’s not very large. And allowing drilling on the shoreline section is revolting! Some people are complaining about Biden cutting off drilling there. Too bad! This area is for the animals and nature, not to mention for the future. Some people are more interested in money to the detriment of nature. I’m stepping off my soapbox now. 😢
This presentation seemed a bit bias toward NOT drilling for oil. Our country and the world needs this industry, which has proven they can be responsible toward the environment. Politics is the BIGGEST PROBLEM with the oil industry.
13:23 Video shows a protest in Canada against Kinder Morgan. Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, formed by several early oil companies (Arco and BP) years ago runs the Alaska Pipeline. Another protest picture is in the lower 48 against the Keystone Pipeline.
This is a propaganda video. Oil production in alaska is safe and extremely responsible. Take a look for yourself don’t watch crap like this. Question the agenda of whoever made this video.
My buddy Steve Conway was the director of maintenance at Prudo Bay he said there was 19,000 wells drilled over the years and he was up there in the 80's and 90's.
I worked there from 1980 to 2013 except for 6 1/2 years at a pump station from 98 to 05. I fixed the electronics on well logging tools then telecommunications.
At 4:50, please reference your source. Having lived through those years, I remember Saddam Hussein as a crazy man -- sponsoring terrorists, claiming to be developing a nuclear bomb, bragging about having the 4th largest army in the world, invading Kuwait, etc. Those were the reasons that the U.S. plus about 80 other countries attacked Iraq. The "invasion" of Kuwait was actually the "liberation" of Kuwait -- returning it to control of the Kuwaitis. So, again, who is claiming that oil was the reason that 80 countries joined forces to remove Hussein from control ?

@@greyarea3804 Yeah, all that freezing cold and snow and ice practically all year! How can anyone survive? Alaska is not cold in the summer, temps are typically mild generally. The Interior is hot and dry, experiencing lighting sparked wildfires some years. Southeast Alaska is a temperate rain forest with a lot of rain, with a mild maritime climate.
I have hear that most of US oil is now unconventional oil from oil shale. We we are in trouble because the other sources of oil are declining. The options are decreasing.
A high school friend ended up the Environmental Czar of Alaska back in the late 70s. The Governor, at the time, told him, "You can go after whoever you want but, keep yer hands off of the oil industry." Telling I always thought...hopefully after EXXON VALDEZ things have changed and there is some accountability?
The Exxon Valdez was a great lesson in how little effect a spill has on the ecosystem. In fact, one year after that spill, you could not even tell it happened.
Campri flegrei in Italy produces 3000 tons of co2 every day, look it up. They are concerns of the uplift and seismic going on too. Talks of it blowing possibly and it's a super volcano
Much current production in the U.S. is high quality (light crude). Most U.S. refineries were built to process heavy crude. So, they import cheap, heavy crude and export light expensive crude.

@@618NoRRiS024 -- Do you watch any news reports? Biden told oil corps to reduce their production. The oil corps did as he said. Now, we have lower production, which forces the price up. And, Biden & Obama are happy with the results.

13:20 I don't understand the protests against pipelines. To my knowledge there has never been any oil spills from oil pipelines. Yet the Exxon Valdez oil spill you explained shows the dangers of shipping oil on ships through shallow Waters.
Who is this mysterious "they" that I'm always hearing about? "THEY" won't tell me, "THEY" can't do anything about it if I use one simple trick, "THEY" hate it when I...etc... well, who are they?
i wonder what movies they play at the enternainment? any and all movies or just company approved ones that can be used as propaganda of a form? since most companies seem to use propaganda like "merry christmas may you and your family have a jolly one" but then when you show up with 0.00$..... that attatude changes. or a company says "we care about our customers and employees" then they state "we cant loose a PENNY of profit"
Leaving it to countries that don't care as much for clean air and land. Joe is interested in migrant children , for what is the scary part but that subject is taboo , don't ask about that.
without the profits from the oil industry, Alaska would cease to exist in its current form. so many companies are directly related to the oil industry, we cant make that money up with fishing and tourism
When the pipeline was built back in the 70s environmentalist was complaining that the Caribou will die by the hundreds. That did not happen because of the heat from the pipeline have tripled because the Caribou not freeze to death and winter time they stayed by the pipeline.
@@RissaFirecat -- What ??? We are using it. That oil is being transported on railroads, which are more dangerous than pipelines. But, Warren Buffett invested lots of cash into a railroad that moves that oil; so, of course, he talked his Dem buddy Obama into shutting down Keystone XL. Trump allowed construction to resume. Biden simply did what Obama did. Biden may or may not understand why.
As long as Alaska preserves its financial benefits - the annual petrol payments to Alaskan residents - and as long as they properly attend to ecology, they should be Ok.
If oil is so hard on the enviroment how did all that wildlife survive the river of oil that flowed from the ground into the arctic ocean near prudhoe bay.. makes capt hazelwood look like an alter boy.
@@bradc32 what ones are you referring to? We’ve been on our oil fields here in Alaska less than 100 yrs. I’ve been all over them. We’ve dug gravel to build roads & drill pads. Those ponds benefit birds from all over the world. The Caribou lay behind the roads &pads. They use them to get out of the Arctic’s relentless wind. The Caribou calf’s have a much higher survival rate as a direct result. The herds have blossomed. Now the bears, wolves, and Arctic fox have a much bigger menu; because, the predators have more birds to eat. Everything wild is increasingly getting more plentiful & generally healthier by man’s presence in our Arctic North. Even getting the oil is beneficial as it leaks from the river bottoms all on its own regardless of man’s presence. This I’ve personally witnessed. So when we harvest the mineral that earth generates there is less of it being squirted into the habitat like popping a giant pimple on earths face. This directly benefits the environment as less crude in the grd is less environmental negative impact. It’s not perfect, but it is by far the lesser of evils. These are documented SCIENTIFIC FACTS. One simply needs to study it out instead of listening to msm; because, they won’t tell you the truth. It’s all politics with them. So believe the hundreds of thousands of us ‘eye witnesses’ that have seen it in 1 st person. Or remain ignorant of reality.

Look at a map of Alaska! The federal government owns most of our state! That isn't right! We should have control of our own state!!!!
I’m from Ohio so definitely looking from a different perspective than you. The territory of Alaska was purchased by the United States, the federal government. Because of its strategic location and resources, the land not already in private hands at purchase or granted to the territory/state, has been retained by the federal government, owned by all US residents until such time as whatever land is released to the state or directly to individuals. I’d like to have the 400 acres next to my farm but if the owner wishes to hang on to it (in your case, the federal government) there isn’t much I can do. My neighbor’s land goes back to their ancestors being granted land via president Andrew Jackson so they are intent on hanging on to it. Your neighbor, the federal government, is just doing what every neighboring land owner does…holding on thinking something better is ahead of them there in that beautiful state. It may not seem so irritating if you look at it that way. Besides, that land IS partially yours because the feds are by the people, for the people.
Alaskan security is increased with more Americans that live there. Let more land go into private hands will do this. It's massive, there is plenty of room. The government isnt always right and sometimes seldom is. They took my grandparents town through imminent domain here in Missouri to build a lake on the pretext of increasing the commerce of the area. After they made their dam and flooded the town they didnt allow anyone to own land on the lake so no prosperity came. Monroe County is still very poor and the population has gone from 20k in 1900 to 8k now. @@garywesthoven1745

Animals are thriving around oil fields in Alaska. Anyone who comments on Alaska need to see how pristine and clean operations are.
Sorry but I am sick of the term "delicate ecosystem". Every ecosystem you can name gets categorized as delicate. But historical records show that life evolves to meet the current challenge. It may not be over night. But it will find a way.
Pipelines properly built an envir. Friendly is pretty much the safest way to transport
We all like our cars, trucks, planes, boats and anything else I missed.
I think that you missed cell 'phones, computers, shoes, and a vast array of other products which contain plastic that is made from oil.
As long as oil companies are forced to behave, drilling and development can be done without the usual pollution and destruction. Alaska is proof. But it requires serious oversight to keep oil companies under control.
One thing that most people don't know about oil is...There are different grades of crude oil. The oil from Alaska Northern Slope, is of a grade that can't be used in America. So it is shipped over seas...
It definitely could be if it is not. If it is not used on us shores it is because no one has invested in any new refineries since the mid 70s. So you can once again blame our government for getting in the way.
FYI....the grade of oil is true. I use to live in Alaska, and had friends in the oil business. You are right that the EPA, Feds have prevented any new refineries from being built. But, the current ones do get shut down for upgrades.@@joshuaplacka8480
Yes, most U.S. refineries are designed for denser, thicker crude -- like what is produced in Venezuela.
I have worked up in the oil fields of Alaska, we have developed tech that leaves little to no impact on the environment. And Alaska has enough oil to supply the U.S. and other countries. I know this because I was born and raised up there.
Alaska has so many types minerals that the world uses to live ,,, AM HAPPY TO BE BORN AND RAISED IN THE BERING STRAIT REGION OF ALASKA !!!😊😊😊
oil is clean and Alaska does oil and nature very well.
Hell yes! :) biodegradable.
Do you guys remember when they had us vote on the pipeline ? We we're going to at last have reasonable fuel prices.. I'm paying $5.50+ a gallon and it's ALL shipped in from down south.
this is dis information plain and simple . ak is so vast , drilling would not be even noticed,
It's disinformation alright, but it looks more like soft/white propaganda on behalf of Conoco Phillips.
And you want to talk about something that will become unnoticed? How about an additional 180,000 bl/day production? Just do the numbers.
so ur saying that the valdez-exxon spill was un-noticed? ? ?
. . a spill is bound to happen where ever they do it !!!
Let's STOP using oil and just use Nuclear Power....surely the Japanese will agree with YOU! If NOT, how about the Ukrainians?@@tomschwab9230
They used to drill for oil in Nevada where I live. You can't even tell where that was, any longer. Desert plants have reclaimed the area.
@@tomschwab9230 -- What are you talking about?
That big oil spill happened from a ship in the ocean.
And, that was the real problem -- clean up is easier on land.
As a nuclear engineer, and knowing we have 300-years of nuclear fuel resources available to meet our Country’s energy needs, I’m a fan of electric transportation. That said, how do we get there?
We need to use our fossil fuel resources, while we continue to develop our renewable resources and infrastructure.
A bright spot is how Alaska goes about it. Absent regulation, I’m dubious they would be so clean, but today they’re doing a magnificent job compared to any other oil patch on the planet. …and we need to acknowledge this effort.
But climate change is real, and if we stopped using fossil fuel resources tomorrow, it would still get worse. In 20-years you’re going to see brown polar bears, crows above the Arctic circle, and sailing in an ice free arctic for most months of the year.
My point is this, find some balance in your ideology, your rhetoric, and most importantly, your belief system. Many hard working scientists, engineers and policy makers are seeking sustainable solutions to a sustainable-life… for us all!
Well written. I too am a nuclear fan !
@ let’s just call it Freedom Energy and forget the drama from those who want chaos, and not realistic solutions to our common problems. What do you think?
I thought this would be a ballanced unbiased look at the issue. Until I looked into your hashtags and home page. The majority of Alaskan oil doesn't go to the US. It goes to SE Asia. The oil for Washington Refineries comes from British Columbia and Alberta
If your claim is global warming from human activity, then explain global warming before humans?🤔
Super massive volcanos.
Reference ice cores.
@@CarlAyers-x8h Seems to me global warming will occur with or without humans, yes?
This sounds a little bit like propaganda.
Yep, this video is big on theories and low on facts.
As bad as I personally hate it we are over 33 trillions of dollars in debt. The United States has to do something about this situation. Energy Independence is what made us a super power. Now is the time to drill because of technological advances there will be a new source of energy that will replace fossil fuels.
The greenies and the oil companies can work together ... they just don't want to ... they both have to have everything .. no conversation!!!
No, they are in bed together. The oil companies actually make lots of money off green agenda bs.
They work together now. More pollution control, more money for big oil. Higher prices and less oil to handle and produce.
Really look at how the animals are doing!
Yes, it is worth the little risk imposed by drilling for oil.
The US was self-sufficient in oil in 2018 and 2019 chiefly due to initiatives by President Trump. Over 20 million barrels a day were being produced and US companies were exporting oil to other countries. After the disputed 2020 election, however, oil production was restricted, drilling permits rescinded and national resources invested in green energy technology like wind and solar. The US lost its oil-independence, became dependent on oil imports and the price at the gas-pump doubled, then tripled. There's no scientific evidence that burning fossil fuels causes either global warming, global cooling or changes in climate. Since 1998, researchers have discovered, and published, that polar bear populations have increased dramatically. In some areas, bounties are being offered to hunters to shoot them.
We never 20 million a day , but we were getting closer with each well we drilled
@@johnnyasmith3425your right, it was 19.8 million barrels a day. Close general whole number would be 20 million.
That's because Trump is the best president we've had in the last 100 years. People's hate of him is manufactured, and they're too stupid to even know it.
We never hit 19 either , that was our consumption . We were producing somewhere between 16 and 17.5 , at the most . BTW that is oil and gas equivalent , not crude . Back 2006 we were around 11 or 12 , increased some then leveled off , but 100 dollar oil will bring up the production to 17 , our infrastructure can not handle even that number , hence the sway in fuel prices .
Yep....and it only took Bedpan one year or less to ruin every good thing Trump accomplished.
Drill baby drill!!!
This has got to be an old presentation. Biden cut off the oil.

Well, I knew there was another reason why I refused to re-elect Trump. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should have been left alone by Trump! If you look at its size compared to the size of the state, it’s not very large. And allowing drilling on the shoreline section is revolting! Some people are complaining about Biden cutting off drilling there. Too bad! This area is for the animals and nature, not to mention for the future. Some people are more interested in money to the detriment of nature. I’m stepping off my soapbox now. 😢
This presentation seemed a bit bias toward NOT drilling for oil. Our country and the world needs this industry, which has proven they can be responsible toward the environment. Politics is the BIGGEST PROBLEM with the oil industry.
13:23 Video shows a protest in Canada against Kinder Morgan. Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, formed by several early oil companies (Arco and BP) years ago runs the Alaska Pipeline. Another protest picture is in the lower 48 against the Keystone Pipeline.
admit it, the narrator would like us living in caves
This is a propaganda video. Oil production in alaska is safe and extremely responsible. Take a look for yourself don’t watch crap like this. Question the agenda of whoever made this video.
They never told you about the GREAT DUST BOWL
My buddy Steve Conway was the director of maintenance at Prudo Bay he said there was 19,000 wells drilled over the years and he was up there in the 80's and 90's.
yes this is old information
I worked there from 1980 to 2013 except for 6 1/2 years at a pump station from 98 to 05. I fixed the electronics on well logging tools then telecommunications.
Bro, born and raised as an Alaskan. Skied, hunted, and fished...the fact you missed the pronunciation of Valdez... just nope
I was thinking the same thing..... 😅
At 4:50, please reference your source. Having lived through those years, I remember Saddam Hussein as a crazy man -- sponsoring terrorists, claiming to be developing a nuclear bomb, bragging about having the 4th largest army in the world, invading Kuwait, etc. Those were the reasons that the U.S. plus about 80 other countries attacked Iraq. The "invasion" of Kuwait was actually the "liberation" of Kuwait -- returning it to control of the Kuwaitis.
So, again, who is claiming that oil was the reason that 80 countries joined forces to remove Hussein from control ?
JUST ANOTHER LIE
They're penalty is billions but they make Trillions!

Alaska does not have hurricaines though.
As much as I would thoroughly enjoy the vistas of Alaska it is way too cold for me
@@greyarea3804 Yeah, all that freezing cold and snow and ice practically all year! How can anyone survive?
Alaska is not cold in the summer, temps are typically mild generally. The Interior is hot and dry, experiencing lighting sparked wildfires some years.
Southeast Alaska is a temperate rain forest with a lot of rain, with a mild maritime climate.
Mining is worse than the oil. I live in Fairbanks. There is lots of gold! Also, there are lots of other un taped minerals.
I have hear that most of US oil is now unconventional oil from oil shale. We we are in trouble because the other sources of oil are declining. The options are decreasing.
Do you know how they get it from the shale? Read about fracking sometime.
Extracting oil from shale has provided more oil than we once dreamed of.
A high school friend ended up the Environmental Czar of Alaska back in the late 70s. The Governor, at the time, told him, "You can go after whoever you want but, keep yer hands off of the oil industry." Telling I always thought...hopefully after EXXON VALDEZ things have changed and there is some accountability?
The Exxon Valdez was a great lesson in how little effect a spill has on the ecosystem. In fact, one year after that spill, you could not even tell it happened.
Imagine a time in the not too distant futre when Alaska is the most populous state in the US. The world will be a very different place.
Let's hope the Democrats stay the hell out.
You failed to mention the global warming is mainly caused from regular climate change from our orbit and the changes in 20:03 axis tilt of the earth
WRONG!!!
Axial " tilt " is one factor, along with ocean currents and a few others.
They will never recognize or admit that a 1.5 to 2° tilt changes weather patterns. It's obvious that it does for people with common sense

without the oil, there's gonna be a lot of naked , starving, environmentalists living under bushes and NO cellphones to tik-tok on !
Correct -- and I'd be in favor of it, except I worry that I'd also end up naked & starving.
Why does the US export so much of its oil?
Much current production in the U.S. is high quality (light crude).
Most U.S. refineries were built to process heavy crude.
So, they import cheap, heavy crude and export light expensive crude.

13:20 I don't understand the protests against pipelines. To my knowledge there has never been any oil spills from oil pipelines. Yet the Exxon Valdez oil spill you explained shows the dangers of shipping oil on ships through shallow Waters.

@joescott58
All wildlife has benefited by our presence?..... except the extinct ones
@@bradc32 what ones are you referring to? We’ve been on our oil fields here in Alaska less than 100 yrs. I’ve been all over them. We’ve dug gravel to build roads & drill pads. Those ponds benefit birds from all over the world. The Caribou lay behind the roads &pads. They use them to get out of the Arctic’s relentless wind. The Caribou calf’s have a much higher survival rate as a direct result. The herds have blossomed. Now the bears, wolves, and Arctic fox have a much bigger menu; because, the predators have more birds to eat. Everything wild is increasingly getting more plentiful & generally healthier by man’s presence in our Arctic North. Even getting the oil is beneficial as it leaks from the river bottoms all on its own regardless of man’s presence. This I’ve personally witnessed. So when we harvest the mineral that earth generates there is less of it being squirted into the habitat like popping a giant pimple on earths face. This directly benefits the environment as less crude in the grd is less environmental negative impact. It’s not perfect, but it is by far the lesser of evils. These are documented SCIENTIFIC FACTS. One simply needs to study it out instead of listening to msm; because, they won’t tell you the truth. It’s all politics with them. So believe the hundreds of thousands of us ‘eye witnesses’ that have seen it in 1 st person. Or remain ignorant of reality.
