You're implying they are reluctant if a lease was issued in 2006 and they aren't drilled in June of '08. Things don't work that fast. There is a lot of drilling going on in the western GLM all the time.

My key point is that there is a lot of area where there is oil and there is not much happening. The right is constantly harping because the oil companies face so many restrictions... yet they are not in a frenzy to get the oil that is available to them.

So we can open ANWR and the 50 mile limit, I'm for that, but if you think that is going to solve our current crisis, as many suggest, you are nuts.

Getting at that oil may be a '10%' intermediate term (~15-25 years) solution. Almost an after-thought compared with the scope of the problem.

'90%' of the solution is oil efficiency. And that's achievable in the near term (~10 years with progress every year). The crisis is now, the solution has to start now. Harping about ANWR is just political posturing.
