Who cares if it fucks up parts of Alaska's environment, its way over there and we need lower prices to keep our economy going.

All of Alaska holds about 1 years supply for the US, and it would take years to get online. Even without legal and environmental challenges I've heard experts say it would take 10-15 years if they started today to pump anything significant. Better fuel economy standards is what you need.
