We could get at least a million barrels a day out of ANWR.

At 100 a barrel, that’s 365 BILLION dollars a year into our economy. 365 BILLION dollars that we don’t have to send overseas to pay for oil. 365 BILLION less in trade deficit.

That’s more than the cost of the war for a year.

That’s about the original cost of the prescription drug plan.

That’s a huge amount of money to be passing up.

There’s another million barrels a day to be had in offshore drilling. States who want to drill offshore should be allowed to do so.

$100.00 * 1,000,000 * 365 = 36,500,000,000 OR 36 1/2 billion, not 365 billion. unless you are talking 10 million barrels a day instead of 1 million.
