You are mistaken on NPR-A.  In 2012, President Obama directed BLM to hold annual oil and gas lease sales in NPR-A.  Many areas have been leased, exploration and discoveries have occurred, and these discoveries will be going into production such as Moose's Tooth 1 and 2, Willow and other hot spots. Under the 2013 plan, more than half of the Reserve is open to leasing.  So no, the Obama administration did not produce a plan to obstruct, deny and stop the use of NPR-A.  To the contrary, the Obama administration encouraged exploration and development through annual lease sales in promising areas while protecting the most sensitive areas for wildlife.  A balanced, reasonable plan.

Don't forget that Alaska has the largest land entitlement of all states --- 105 million acres of surface and subsurface lands with one of the lowest populations.  The federal lands are public lands, conservation areas, and multi-use areas -- what Alaskans and visitors dearly value.
