1. The amount of oil in Alaska is grossly underestimated.

And how do you know that?

You say 14 I say 40 years.

At 20 billion barrels of oil pumping at an impossible rate of 3.6 million barrels per day ANWR would last 14 years.

2. the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, that is news to me. The last time I was in the Gulf of Mexico I saw dozens if not hundreds of production and drilling platforms. Do you have some kind of insider information that would indicate that E&P has stopped in the Gulf?

The federal bans on Gulf Coast drilling are only now just being lifted.

A federal / state ban on Gulf Coast drilling off Florida
has allowed the Chinese to slant drill from Cuba.
