If Alaskans push this just right with help from the Trump administration we could devalue oil on state lands. Cheap oil is good for big oil, bad for alternative energy, and bad for the State of Alaska. But c'mon folks isn't this just fascinating? Me and a couple other guys took refuge in Leffingwell's cabin on Flaxman Island in the 70s. There was a plaque describing how he had lived there from 1907- 1914 and helped the USGS establish oil potential on the Slope. So glad and proud that Alaska is still a mysterious place, great article Alex. I'll put this in my novel if TrumpCare ever covers ADHD,....
