From the story:
Congress is considering a budget bill that permits oil drilling throughout the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge. With Republicans controlling the executive and legislative branches of government, proponents like Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski believe now is the best chance in decades to develop the refuge.
----
The Alaska Pipeline is now pushing far less oil through its pipe than engineers in the 1970s designed the system to handle.
How the Alaska Pipeline Is Fueling the Push to Drill in the Arctic Refuge
Seems to me the oil does need to remain flowing strong in the pipeline, else shut it down.
Looks like it's time to "Drill baby drill..."
