"Opponents of ANWR development say that it is not worth forever despoiling ANWR for a few months of oil supply. This is a specious argument that assumes that supply from all other sources ceases during the life of the ANWR reserves. According to government studies, the 2001 area of ANWR, could produce over 1.0 MMBO per day. Like the Prudhoe Bay area, production operations will likely run for more than 25 years, providing vital crude oil and natural gas for the nation’s economy, significant employment in Alaska and in the Lower 48 from production operations and equipment supply, hundreds of millions of dollars of annual state and federal tax and royalty income, as well as a reduction in the outflow of funds for the purchase of imported crude oil.

That's "Liberal" math, therefore completely useless. The liberal press will simply not report a realistic estimate.
