The legislation directs the Interior Department to hold at least two lease sales over the next 10 years...

In other words, it will never happen. What idiot gave a TEN YEAR time limit? It should have been written so the lease sales would occur on or before November 5, 2018. After that, all bets are off.

Great article, with interesting info. One comment though... the number 15 billion. I presume it's total, not annual:

there are 15.6 billion barrels of oil beneath ANWR... 60% ... recoverable.

produce up to 15 billion gallons of petroleum annually... producing 15 billion gallons of ethanol annually

I remember when John Kerry said it would 10 years for one drop of oil to reach the pipe line
