I think this article is a hoax

[edit]

I have never heard of a carribou. What the hell are they, like fake penguines or something. Stupid eviro-eliteists making up fake birds...

Muskrats

[edit]

In the history section it mentions that muskrats were given the right to select land....what in the hell do muskrats have to do with anything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.184.118 (talk) 01:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two things

[edit]
  • During a floor session of the Alaska Legislature today, one of the members (I forget which one, but perhaps Anna Fairclough?) read an item that a vote was held today in Congress allowing limited drilling. I haven't looked this up in the news. Is it relevant to the article?

Concept

[edit]

Pipe + Path of least resistance to Storage for further usage.

Similar to straw+suction+stomach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.120.65.78 (talk) 16:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Units

[edit]

The readability of the article as a whole would be improved by standardization of units. My suggestion is:

  • Land area: square miles (km2) acres (ha) ... To address the argument for acres (ha), see below)
  • Oil volume: bbl (m3). Standardize on billions, even if a few citations of millions will look small)
  • Flow: million barrels per day (106 m3/d)

As far as citations are concerned, I trust editors to do the math properly.
Use of standard measures will eliminate NPOV problems with hyperbole. Rhadow (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The units stuff is still kind of hard on the reader. Stuff like
the opening of ANWR reaches 780,000 barrels per day (124,000 m3/d) in 2027 and then declines to 710,000 barrels per day (113,000 m3/d) in 2030. In the low and high ANWR oil resource cases, additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR peaks in 2028 at 510,000 and 1.45 million barrels per day (231,000 m3/d), respectively.
is starts to look like wallpaper. We probably want a lot of these figures expressed in much rounder numbers in the prose, while accompanying the text with tables giving the precise values. Some units are hopeless, like Barrel (unit)#Oil barrels. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:52, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
