I find it kind of ironic that here we have a group of people who are protesting against an oil pipeline, yet without an oil pipeline they would not probably be here. Without the Alaska pipeline where would they be really? Would there be schools and hospitals in their areas? Would they be able to fly out? The Alaska pipeline is our lifeline here in Alaska and by the way has had an amazing safety record for about 35 years. Someone can correct me but I think the pipeline has moved about 16,000,000,000 bbls of oil.
Before they get excited about protesting pipelines, maybe they should stop and think how we have all benefited from ours.
