What a silly answer.. I expect that from salon, but I expect facts here. I asked an honest question.
Well, there is no specific answer to your question. The answer depends on how much recoverable oil there is in ANWR, the price of oil, the royalty rate paid to the US government, amongst other factors.
A simple calculation is the following:
10 billion barrels of oil (recoverable)
oil at $50 per barrel
US government is paid a royalty of 12.5%
10,000,000,000 * $50 * 12.5% = $62.5 billion in royalties paid to the US government over the extraction period.
How many jobs are created? No idea.
Remember, NO taxpayer money is spent. Money is sent to the Treasury.
