trying to get on the good side of big oil before the 06 landslide.

4. Didn't they say that about Iraqi oil? Said the revenues from Iraqi oil
would pay for the war and lower the cost of gas in the U.S. What morons believe these LIARS anymore?

5. How much oil is actually available in ANWR?
I don't know how reliable Wikipedia is, but this makes the debate about drilling look ridiculous.

Estimates of oil reserves
There have been conflicting reports as to the amount of oil in ANWR. A 1998 USGS study indicated at least 5.7 billion (95% probability) and possibly as much as 16.0 billion (5% probability) barrels (0.9 to 2.5 km³) exists in ANWR, with a mean value of 10.4 billion barrels (1.7 km³). Technically recoverable oil within the ANWR 1002 area (excluding State and Native areas) is estimated to be at least 4.3 billion (95%) and as much as 11.8 billion (5%) barrels (0.7 to 1.9 km³);, with a mean value of 7.7 billion barrels (1.2 km³). <14> The U. S. consumes about 20 million barrels daily. Using the conservative 4.3 billion estimate, the math computes to the reserves only lasting 215 days if all the oil was used only in the US. Using the the more liberal hope of 11.8 billion barrels, the oil will last for 590 days. <15> This relatively short grace period of accessible oil is part of the controversy over endangering the wildlife and environment.

10. This is what I heard... from Kerry...
IF by 2020 we are getting the maximum amount ESTIMATED from drilling in ANWR we will reduce our dependence on foreign oil from 62% to 60%.

BIG F*CKING WHOOP - I would rather keep the last pristine wilderness pristine.

Hopefully tomorrow in the Senate we will see them strip it from the bill.

6. If this were true, they wouldn't want it.
It's quite simple: WHY would Big Oil support a project that would LOWER the price of oil? Senator? I'm waiting... :grr:

7. Check her portfolio. She's got money on it. She was appointed
by her old man, Frank the Bank MurTAXski. They are so beneath contempt I don't have the vocabulary.

8. If it actually does drop the price of oil,
we will not see any of it at the pump.
