We do have to keep things in perspective. ANWAR does not equate to much oil. A number of articles we had read at FR in the past year, indicated that over the life time of the drilling on a fraction of a percentage of our daily oil needs would be satisfied. I fact I spent a lot of time wading through a number of Oil sites, compiled info, showed some honestly arrived at figures that ANWAR over a seven/ten year period would provide at best perhaps a weeks worth of US daily consumption needs, during a one year period.
That being said, and I will not through that path, to weary, if true, at least a new precedence will be set.
And in my mind that is quite important. It could lead toward east/west/gulf coast future drilling as well as perhaps more emphasize being placed on the shall oil processes in the future. It is a start in the right direction.

ANWAR does not equate to much oil. The most oil per square mile predicted in any undeveloped area in the world of compariable size.
Yeah, not much, just more than anyplace else not already flowing. And it is ANWR, only one "A".
