Urge the development of Alaska’s abundant offshore oil and natural gas resources


Urge the development of Alaska’s abundant offshore oil and natural gas resources: Tell the federal government that our nation’s economic and energy security depends on producing these vital supplies.



Developing oil and natural gas resources off Alaska will:



•Supply Americans with abundant domestic energy and help lower overseas imports;

•Create tens of thousands of American jobs in Alaska and throughout the United States;

•Add billions in revenue to the federal government at a time of ballooning federal deficits; and

•Provide necessary supplies to keep the Trans-Alaska Pipeline – one of the most critical infrastructures in our country – from shutting down permanently.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Enforcement, and Regulation (the federal agency that regulates offshore energy development) is currently accepting comments on the development of offshore oil and natural gas in the Chukchi Sea, north of Alaska. After years and years of studying the potential impacts of production and ensuring all safety precautions have exceeded standards, it’s time to move forward with development.



By sending a letter in today, you will send a strong message to our government that American energy security and American jobs are at stake. Consumers cannot avoid any delays!



The comment period closes July 11th. For more information about this comment period and about Alaskan energy resources, click here
