I bet there is oil in the Arctic, and OP is actually the US government. This is our future sheeple!!! Wake up!!!
I mean, there is oil in Alaska. Lots of it.
Shoot, one of Alaska's biggest northern settlements, if not the biggest, is an oil work camp. Look up Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. The road up there is totally worth taking if you're into birdwatching or really rugged roughing it.
That canal rips through the heart of the NWT, a hotbed of uranium, gold and diamond mining.
And gets close to the northern end of the tar sands.
