Alaska is thought to have more crude the Saudi by persons of this
persuasion. I am sort of prone to agree with this theory of US oil
production. There are known reserves up there, and yet, nobody puts
any taps in the ground. Why?

Is that an attempt at a pun? The Trans Alaska Pipelne (TAPS) Has been
carrying oil from the North slope of Alaska for 30 years. The field is
already in decline. Even if the restricted wildlife area was included
half the oil has already been extracted. The size of the entire Alaskan
North slope oil is at most maybe 5% of the Arabian oil fields.
