Hi Miraje,

I have had a wonderful exposure to Alaska,

During my years as a partner in 4 dealerships, my senior partner lived and taught accounting in Anchorage for several years.

Our 4 delershipd collectively funded the ownership and guide service headquartered out of Valdez Alaska.

Coming up throught the service dept I had the tasks of getting out 32 foot Silverstream boat out of storage in June and back into service in September.

I had the complete joy of captaining that boat in the month of July for Halibut, Ling cCd and Rockfish fishing for 13 summers...

We leased a four-bedroom apartment all tear long to house the dealership employees and customers of the dealership.

During that time, I got to know many locals and some of the roughnecks who worked a BP well very close to the ANWR.

.BP had a permit to drill up next to the ANWR, but were restricted as to how much they could pump out. One of the roughnecks who worked that well said they pumped the max in less than three days of operation a week.

When trump says we have more oil than the Saudi's, he is well founded. The first oil wells drilled in Alaska are on the Alaskan Penninsula and are no longer in service

The two native tribes are organized like corporations. They infact derive a large part of their income (for all tribe members) via the Alyeska pipeline. The tribes share 25% of the revenue from the pipeline.

For any politician to claim the tribes do not want Alaska developed for more oil is outrageous claim that is misrepresenting their tribes interests.

There has also been a long time desire to parallel along the Alyeska pipeline with a natiral gas pipe line and redirect it to Canada.. Now that LNG can be shipped via boat, it is a slam dunk that both crude and LNG couled be transported out of the Valdez deepwater port that does not freezeup.

Alaskans in general are very pro energy developement.

When an Alaskan tells you they don't want drilling to go on in Alaska, they are bought and paid for by an environmental lobbyist who wants to diminish the huge natural resource Alaska represents.

America has for far too long not used economic development wealth building and the value of harvesting our great wealth in natural resources.

Trump is absolutely correct to begin to implement wealth creation via mining, drilling and processig the Gof given huge resources we have.

When done clenaly and aggressively we a citizens can begin to be the recipients of such great wealth that our taxation can be greatly diminished and/or our national debt reducuedt.

Partial proof of that is the Alaskan permanent trust fund pays all Alaskan citizens an annual check that can range from 1000 to 2000 per person per year.

No one can do it cleaner and no one has more than we Americans do!

Legal status regarding drilling: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Status of Oil and Gas Program

Estimates of how much crude is in Alaska (46.7% of the US estimated reserves: including oil and gas - 109 billion barrels of energy on all of our continental shelfs! THAT"S HUGE!
