If you ask me, though, Alaska missed being a big part of Teapot Dome by a cat's whisker. On another note, somewhat distantly related, are you aware that lease bids on NPR-A opened last week and they estimate 6 billion barrels, coincidently the same size as ANWR?
That is facinating. I am convinced that if they re-drilled the old fields in Pennsylvania and Northwest New york, they would find some interesting stuff
