I think ANWR should be considered a reserve and held back until the 2020's or 30's. America, if alternatives fail, will need it more then than now. If alternatives succeed then it can fulfill the much smaller demand which will still exist for crude, especially with depletion concerns in the lower 48. Perhaps then the project can be done with the kind of oversight those proposing it only promise now.

BTW, I read some time ago that of the approxiamtely 8 million oil bore holes drilled in the world, approximately 4 million of them are in the U.S.(!) Can someone find that reference? To me, that little factoid illustrates that more drilling isn't necessarily the answer...
I agree that would be an interesting fact. However you must drill more to replace reserves and there is no way around that. _________________ ENERGY is the basis of our industrial civilization and sustains our standard of living. It is the foundation stone of our national wealth. A nation starved of energy.....will be a nation of starving people.
Conclusion: ANWR would power the US for 57 minutes/day, the rest would have to be imported.
EIA, best case scenario would reduce oil prices by $.30 to $.50 per barrel
Monte does not mention that the Alaskan pipeline can move up to 2 MBPD & that it's half full now. Given the lack of shipping available, that means actual delivery of Alaskan crude can grow no greater than 1 MBPD.

Yeah, it's all them evil democrats' fault. If those enviro-mentals would just let us drill in ANWR, we'd be back to $2 gas.
I love these partisans. They still think there's a difference between red and blue. I wonder, do they believe in the tooth fairy as well? _________________ The whole of human history is a refutation by experiment of the concept of "moral world order". - Friedrich Nietzsche

5 Republican candidates for US House to visit ANWR in July
The Associated Press 16 Jun 2008
RAPID CITY, S.D. -- The Republican candidate for South Dakota's lone U.S. House seat, Chris Lien of Rapid City, says he and four other House hopefuls will travel to Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge next month.
In a statement, Lien said it's a response to concerns about high gas prices. He says more can be done to recover available oil reserves in Alaska as well as parts of Montana, Colorado, North Dakota and northwest South Dakota. ...
