Alaska accounts for 25% of the oil produced in the United States.
Located near Prudhoe Bay, on the northern Alaskan coast, is North America's largest oil field. Every day, millions of gallons of oil are removed from Prudhoe Bay and pumped through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. The pipeline, maintained by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, snakes its way from Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's northern coast to the southcentral port of Valdez where the oil is pumped into tankers. One of the largest pipeline systems in the world, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline moves up to 88,000 barrels of oil per hour on its 800 mile journey to Valdez http://www.johnnyseastriverlodge.com/alaska.html
I learned in Sophmore economics that the oil tankers go up to Alaska and take oil from Alaska then bring it back down to the West coast states (Washington, Oregon, California)

Kenzie,
That's really good! The only thing I would change is the formatting on your dog mushing info. Maybe put a colon after "Dog Mushing" so that it doesn't run into the rest of the information.
