Opportunities alaska has with regard to resource production, you have enabled an unprecedented attack on our ability to responsibly bring these resources to market. The president has withdrawn over 22 million more acres of alaska from Energy Production just in recent weeks, and that has occurred on top of many other restrictions and regulations being imposed on us.

Theyre also in the process of identifying potentially responsible parties that could be responsible for the cleanup.
