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.

1. Alaska has very little oil in the scheme of things and being optimistic it would give us a 25% supply at full capacity for 1-2 years before it peaked out.
2. Alaska's environment means a hell of a lot more than the minimal amounts of oil that could be obtained. In this case fuck the economy when given the option.
