750,000 barrels is not much. Hardly worth the time to have a tanker dock and take it on. Current production is 60 barrels per day, which is $2,500 or so at current prices. If they increase production 100 fold, to 6,000 barrels per day, that's still only $250,000 per day, and they'll run out in a matter of months if they're pumping out 6,000 barrels per day.

Yeah, but isn't it nice to drill for oil on your own land? I'd love to have this puppy in my back yard!

The enviroweenies absolutely crack me up with their "no drilling in ANWR" crap. Instead of drilling for oil in our own country, which has some of the most stringent environmental rules of anywhere on the planet, they'd rather us continue to get oil from Mexico, Venezuela or Russia, et al, where environmental protection is virtually unheard of. The 'Pubbies need to add this to their arguement about drilling in ANWR, the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere. We need to follow Israel's example and go back to drilling, pumping and refining our own crude. Screw the Arabs....
