Hey Now, I am not against what Obama did. I just don't think there will be any immediate pressure to change this. There is still too much oil in less costly locations to produce. Calais discovered a bunch of oil at Smith Bay, but it is gonna cost like $10 Billion to produce and it is just not worth it (now anyways). I think that oil is in State leases, so at least Alaska would get some revenue (clearly Alaska politicians need some income, cause they know how to spend!)
