We have zero capability to respond in the Arctic right now. And we've got to do better than that.
We have no place to put people up there. We have no hangers for aircraft. We have no piers, no Coast Guard boats.
We need a deepwater port up there--not only for the industry, but for the Coast Guard, and oil spill technology.
if we don't know what that end is, we don't know if we're really fully, if we're at 70 percent of your mission, 60 percent, 80 percent.
