text: but you didn't risk a penny in getting the oil out of the ground and still don't. The only reason Alaska has a PF, a CBR and a host of other things is because a handful of oil companies risked EVERYTHING to build the infrastructure it took to get oil out of the ground and to market. They still employ thousands of Alaskans, what you want is to have the oil companies shutdown and layoff those Alaskans. You want to talk about a nightmare, wait till that happens. It may be "our" oil but without the infrastructure to move it, it stays in the ground because the oil companies own the infrastructure. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
