ANWR should be opened … but only after suitable delay, so that current people’s grandchildren might have a little oil. Think of it as a piggy bank – every 10 years, starting in 2020, Congress can vote on it, but if they vote yes, there’s a10-year delay before anything even starts, so there’s a 15+-year delay before oil flows, to take it out of the realm of day-to-day political combat.

In any case, they might as well wait until the permafrost has melted – right now seems a really dumb time to build anything up there.

**Crude oil prices are about 2 times where they were just 1 year ago.

**Now, what about the causes? Honestly, can you agree to ANY of the following:
–Are there 2x as many cars out there?
–How about gas mileage? Did it decrease by 50% over that time?
–Are there only 1/2 of the countries in OPEC producing oil now versus 2007?
–Did 1/2 of the oil fields dry up?
–Are there 1/2 less oil tankers to move oil?
–Did 1 out of every 2 oil pipelines close down, break, or be destroyed?
–Are 2 times more homes heated by oil now?
–Are there now twice as many companies in the world, producing 2x more G.N.P. for their homeland economies and consuming 2x more oil?

THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THESE IS AN EMPHATIC “NO!”

You know it.

I know it.

The world knows it.

Let’s fix the problem by using the same belief system that created it:

George Will wrote in today’s (thursday) Washington Post that Chuck Schumer said the price at the pump would fall 50 cents per gallon if Saudi Arabia pumped an additional 1 million gallons a day. Will of course jumps on that comments to claim that ANWR would reduce the pump price by that amount. I don’t know where Schumer gets his number, but perhaps someone here knows …

Don’t know if you missed it not, but the Canadian Government just closed the bids on oil exploration in a section of the Beaufort Sea.
Considering the frozen methane on the shallow Arctic sea floors…is this wise??
