Further embarassment...

It's a well-known fact that Alaska is home to a huge oil reserve, one that would nearly double our supply of domestic oil if we tapped into it.

Dude I was just attacking the post, not you. Now you're calling names.

You called my first post the stupidest thing posted on this site. There was no problem with that.

Maybe I should PM the mods and whine about it to have you warned.

The estimates are that there are between 5-16 billion barrels in ANWR

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, 1002 Area, Petroleum Assessment, 1998, Including Economic Analysis (it's an old survey, 1996 so with newer methods more recoverable oil may exist).

By using this resource in a measured way, the US could reduce its dependence on foreign oil by 5-10% for the next 12-15 years.

It would also IMMEDIATELY begin to lower prices because speaculators price the oil on the market by looking into the future. By opening up ANWR and/or any of our other oil deposits, it would help clear up some of the uncertainty about our future oil. Then, when we actually begun using it, a more substantial price drop.

But yet again, Congress (mostly Democrats) said no.
