And how will you prevent Alaska from being held hostage to organizations that do not support oil and gas development? Representative Paltola, I've stood firm against any and all efforts to target taps on my watch. That pipeline is going to be refilled, not dismantled, and we're off to a great start. Getting willow done was the biggest thing we could do in the short terms to secure the survival of the Trans Alaska pipeline. (18:46–18:52)
