This link will help answer my question hopefully

Answer 1

    * Kenai Refinery (Tesoro), Kenai 72,000 bbl/d (11,400 m³/d)

    * Valdez Refinery (Petro Star), Valdez 50,000 bbl/d (7,900 m³/d)

    * North Pole Refinery (Petro Star), North Pole 17,000 bbl/d (2,700 m³/d)

    * Kuparuk Refinery (ConocoPhillips), Kuparuk 14,400 bbl/d (2,290 m³/d)

    * North Pole Refinery (Flint Hills Resources), North Pole 210,000 bbl/d (33,000 m³/d)

    * Prudhoe Bay Refinery (BP), Prudhoe Bay 12,500 bbl/d (1,990 m³/d)

There is a list of the refineries which "aren't" in Alaska. There would be more if not for the environazis.

Answer 2

big spills  a while back, democrats and enviromentalists say we cant drill there as the water is still polluted from the oil spill,, clinton signed a law that u cannot offshore drill, one reason to blame dems for high gas not to mention they control the economy so what would repubs have to do with it
