Drilling in Anwar could take a while. You can only drill in the winter when the ground is frozen and only for about 4 months of the year.
Absent a Marshall plan to get oil up and flowing it's an 8-10 years program. With a Marshall type plan exempting all regs and govt. regs. who knows, maybe half that time.

Problem is the dem/rats are winning by 6 votes right now, maybe if gas goes to $5.00 we can beat them. It's really sick what they are doing to us, destroying the country and major portions of the world by forcing $126/130 oil.

If we had started back in 2001 when W proposed it, the oil would be coming online now.
