Hmm, didn't they say it would take ten years to see oil flowing from ANWR if we started drilling today? We should have started when Bush took office four years ago.

It might take 10 years for the natural gas pipeline, but for the relatively short extension to ANWR from Prudhoe it shouldn't take that long. Pipe would have to be ordered, the EIS written, and permits would have to be granted. Probably 4 years if everything goes well.
