Missouri Mule said:"Allegedly" is the operative word. We don't know how much oil is in ANWR. My point is that we should be drilling everywhere until we find the holy grail of energy. Otherwise the economy is going to suffer needlessly. Nuclear is obviously the answer but the politics will condemn us to more political wrangling. Meanwhile let's see what is ANWR and settle the controversey once and for all. If the leftists are right they will have earned the right to crow about it. Under the worst possible scenario, we poke a few holes and cap them and come home. Under the best circumstances, we go a significant way toward easing our foreign dependence.
There ain't a hundred million, and that's where the numbers start to get interesting. The US uses seven billion barrels in a year.
Nuclear, nor nothing. That's all there is to it.
