But he seems to assume that there is oil there to be found and pumped. There isn't. There is lots of oil shale and lots of coal that could be converted into petroleum by hydrogenation, and natural gas can even be converted to longer-chain paraffin-series products. His idea of self-sufficiency is a slight improvement on some other responses, but he really does not seem to know much about pertoleum economics, petroleum geology, or chemistry. All the oil in Alaska is not going to help much or for long, as I understand it.
