I don't understand why. There is a wide disparity of opinion as to how much oil is there. Some artificially low, some artificially high.
When the Alaskan oil pipeline was built, there were environmental outcries about risks, damage, etc. None of that has developed. In fact, the warmth generated by the pipeline has led to dramatic increases in caribou populations.
600 acres of development in a 2 million acre preserve. Not unreasonable.
