"Open ANWAR and explore for new wells in the interior and far north."

Drilling in ANWR would cost the state money, not make money.

Please read "Upsized ASAP may rattle AK LNG Project" in the Peninsula Clarion.

"a surprise for lawmakers was that under the state’s current tax code ANWR’s initial exploration and development would be subsidized by the state, to the tune of about $8 billion to $9 billion, because of tax credits for explorers"

Of course this didn't stop the legislature from wasting money on a lawsuit and wasting months in session complaining about Obama hurting our economy.
