I guess you are planning on not living more than two years.

Clinton vetoed the bill Dec. 6, 1995 as part of a budget bill. ANWAR drilling was revised and tried again in 1996. There was another attempt made in 1998.

There is an estimated 17 BILLION Barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of recoverable gas and these resources may rival the initial reserves at Prudhoe Bay. There is still only one pipe to send the oil through. It is generally expected that it would take 2-4 years to bring the field in, and it is unknown what else may be discovered nearby.

The argument for NOT drilling in the Arctic wastelands is just another WACKADOO issue that the libs think they own. But that has changed. There isn't any of the WACKADOO's issues that garner a majority of support anymore. Sanity has set in with the population at large.

There is an estimated 17 BILLION Barrels

That is the most optimistic estimate. 6 billion is the reasonable estimate. But neither is the answer. Prudhoe Bay was estimated at 20 billion. They have pumped 14 billion over 27 years. Prudhoe Bay provides only 20% of our national need. At my age I might have two years to go, but it's sad to see so many pinning their hopes on the wrong solution.
