Is there  not 
enough oil up there to supply america long term??
 
There is plenty of oil off the coast and in Alaska for another 100  years and 
better. Why we can't get to it is the same reason I can't drive  my Jeep in 
most of the desert anymore. They keep closing areas down to protect  the 
surroundings for our future. Trouble is, who see's it? Same as the sand  dunes next 
to Yuma for a milk weed!
