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

.001% of ANWAR is being opened for drilling. More pipeline for the Caribou and other wildlife to warm up under.

15.6 billion barrels vs 15 billion gallons

“In the United States and throughout the oil industry worldwide, an oil barrel is defined as 42 US gallons, which is about 159 litres or 35 imperial gallons.”
