We can argue here over oil leases controlled in the USA
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, which held the leases before they were canceled, is asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to restore them, arguing the federal government's decision violates a clear Congressional mandate in a 2017 tax bill to open up the Arctic to drilling.
"The federal government is determined to strip away Alaska’s ability to support itself, and we have got to stop it,” said Republican Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy in a statement.
