I remember when they were telling us in school we were headed for the next ice age.

After this, my first winter in VT, I'd buy that. If global warming gets any worse we'll have polar bears down here next winter.

Well, since "make a claim and don't back it up" left...
A 6 month supply of oil for the U.S. that is used to "pooh pooh" ANWR would be 3.42 Billion barrels of oil.
Now, being the geniuses they are, I'm assuming they mean a "6 month supply" to equal the daily consumption of oil times 180 days. The U.S. currently consumes right at 19 million barrels a day.
Now, we import 11 million a day from foreign sources (9.9% Canada, 7.9% Saudi, 7.8% Mexico, 2.2% Iraq).
Of that amount, we get 870,000 per day from Saudi Arabia.
That would make the ANWR find equal to 11 years of their oil.
We get 242,000 a day from Iraq and ANWR then would be equal to 38.7 years of Iraqi oil.
Now, I don't believe the "6 month figure" so if it's anything over that, pure gravy!

I remember when they were telling us in school we were headed for the next ice age. Really? I guess that was before they decided it was Global Warming, not Ice Age. No wonder we're all confused. Do they know which way the earth rotates?? Are they sure this time? LOL
