You want me to trust government numbers? :-)

Will you admit that we do not actually know how much oil is up there, because you *can't*, until you start tapping it (and running into the small pockets here and there, etc)? Or are you presuming that the numbers you are giving -- real or fabricated -- are absolute gospel?

Fuzzy math. :p

The numbers that I presented ARE estimates of consumption and I said earlier in the thread that I believe that there is probably more oil in ANWR that the USGS and DOE think. I hope that is the case. Prudhoe Bay has already produced more oil than was thought to be deposited there.
