“Exploration and drilling for oil is banned in the Alaskan wasteland, even though the area proposed for such use is tiny – 2000 acres, an area smaller than Washington Dulles Airport, in a “wildlife refuge” of 19,600,000 acres, about the size of South Carolina.”

A little bit off on a tangent, but this always makes me curious. Is that 2,000 acres the only area in ANWR where they believe crude is located, or is it the only area that’s been explored.

Any estimate as to how much crude might be in that entire 19,600,000 acres?
