Yes and ANWR and OCS and Coal and Uranium and oil sands and wind power and geothermal, etc

I'm not sure what you mean by OCS; while I'm not an advocate of drilling ANWR, I'm pretty sure that there will be increased utilization of all these resources over the coming decades.

Much of the area that makes up the outer continental shelf (OCS) is now off-limits to oil and gas companies because of federal moratoriums on drilling there. But as high prices force job cuts in sectors that rely heavily on natural gas, pressure is building to give states the option of “opting out” of the drilling ban, sources in Congress and along K Street say.

Why not? If ANWR is not big enough to begin producing, name one undeveloped area that has similar resouces potential in ratio to the area to be disturbed.
