Alaska Oil Field Drilling and Jobs
In Alaska, there are many current oil field developments that are being added to the existing number of fields in Alaska. While these fields already provide employment for a large number of oil workers, a new development is being proposed by US president George W Bush. He believes that there are several important reasons for America to become more involved with drilling in Alaska for oil.

It is believed that added fields in Alaska would help secure
energy sources for the US, as well as boost the national economy.
An added economic advantage is that less oil would need to
be imported from the likes of the Middle East, which would
improve the balance of payments deficit.
The development in question could bring a vast number of new
jobs in the area. The new development would host 50 oil fields
over an area of 2000 acres. Piping and infrastructure would
need to be built to provide roading and a sufficient means
of piping the oil. In Washington, this proposition is being
very much debated and fought by political members because
the drilling is to take place in a ARWR or Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge and has encountered many objections from environmental
groups that are against the oil export ban repeal. There is
currently $8 billion dollars a year that is being generated
by oil fields in other parts of the Alaska. The Alaskan economy
relies heavily on the drilling for oil - an activity that
has occurred there for the past 30 years.
