The problem with the Alaskan Oil exploitation, is that once you get it out of the ground, it doesn't magically transport itself to your nearest Shell station.
The logistics, infrastructure, maintenance, and potential for spills involved means that somewhat more then 2,000 acres will be lost.
I don't profess to know any exact numbers, or the exact risks, so I won't be making up statistics here, but there's more to this story then the two extremes.
