Alaska's political leaders urge President-elect Trump to allow oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge to boost the economy.
Alaska's political leaders hope that President-elect Donald Trump will lift restrictions on oil drilling, especially in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to boost the state's economy.
This plan is contentious, as it divides Alaska Native communities and environmentalists.
While drilling could create jobs and generate revenue, environmentalists and climate scientists argue for a phase-out of fossil fuels.
The coastal plain of the refuge may hold between 4.25 billion and 11.8 billion barrels of oil, but there is uncertainty about the quality and recoverability of the resources.
