Maybe the people of this state and country should scream at their politicians as to why the largest pool of oil discovered in Alaska in 1976, by ARCO, was locked up.  You need to read the book written by Pastor Lindsay Williams, "The Energy Non-Crises".  The "Gull Island" find.  http://www.reformation.org/energy-non-crisis.html .

Gull Island was capped and the rig was removed, and the truth has never been told ... until now!
Here is the information you need.  Read it for yourselves, then start lighting fires under their backside
