flstf,

Thanks for the article. There's a lot of info out there, it's kind of dense and takes awhile to go through. I haven't seen the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act of 1973 mentioned before so that was informative.

One thing I don't get: Why would developing oil in Alaska not be attractive to domestic producers? The article didn't really make it clear (to me at least). I would think anyone would jump at the chance. I don't understand the 'artificially low prices' bit.

I also saw other articles contending that oil form ANWR would be destined for Asian countries.

Hard to tell who's right or accurate. I guess it is telling to look at the source too though. I've noted that the Cato Institute is a Libertarian think tank (just an observation).
