Knowing that vast parts of Alaska do not have the oil that they were previously supposed to have, perhaps effort could be put into starting to affect demand.

I think things can be done in parallel. Walking from exploration doesn't do anything but put it off till later when scarcity is higher. I think there is a bigger responsibility to know exactly what resources actually do exist. Regardless if they are used now, in the future or never. Not knowing seems unwise IMO.
