Michael Albertson No, the enemy is the recent bad leadership! It was the bad Governors and the Legislators that allows oil and gas agencies to have Commissioners that have become self-serving insiders who make abusive decisions to price Alaskans and other competitors out so the monopolies can milk Alaskans dry! 

The state offers to sell oil leases in a competitive bid process annually to any American who is of age but the DNR increased the Minimum bid 150% Rentals 8,000% to keep Alaskans out of the oil business so the majors can have most all oil wealth and milk the people of Alaska dry! 

Corruption and bad government with big oil are your enemy not small oil companies of America calling for transparency and less red tape so an Alaskans can do what people from every oil state in the nation do, that is explore and find oil and sell it for a profit. 

Alaskans should not be priced out by DNR, Alaskan voters can fix this broken system and stop being milked and start being prosperous!
