The Prudhoe Bay Scenario

Prudhoe Bay is the source of 25% of U.S. oil reserves and the source of almost all West Coast oil.

Prudhoe Bay is within range of the Chinese CSS-4, the North Korean Taepo Dong II missile, and a wide array of Russian ICBMs.

An attack on Prudhoe Bay, populated with workers in the oil industry, would result in the deaths of most of the approximately 2,000 Americans who live there. This is a small number relative to an attack on a major city.

The primary purpose of an attack on Prudhoe Bay would be to inflict damage on a strategic resource of the United States: oil. An attack upon Prudhoe Bay would hurt the west coast economy for some time.
