A reminder that off shore oil drilling does not pay Alaska any revenue.  It also competes with oil developed on state leases that should pay Alaska revenue (except for SB-21).

Alaskans are opposed to off shore drilling as the research shows there is no way to clean up oil spilled in broken sea ice.  

There is also almost no infrastructure (roads, docks, ports, airports) from which a oil spill could be cleaned up.

Finally, the federal agency that gave the Unitied States the BP oil spill in the Gulf was fouled with corruption.  Federal employees were taking bribes, drugs, and hookers from Big Oil to rubber stamp shoddy drilling practices.

And it also got workers killed.

Note that Murkowski gets significant money from the oil industry.  She does not stand with Alaskans.
