there seems to be some misconception of what is at stake in the anwr. everyone should visit the following site: anwr.org the six month supply number bandied about by editorial letter writers appears to be an outdated production figure and the six months is closer to four months of world consumption. projected recovery with modern technology is predicted by USGS to be a mean of 28.8 billion barrels with an 88% recovery rate at $24/bbl. production is estimated to be ultimately 2 mil. bbls per day or 25% of our imports on average. If my numbers are correct anwr would yield 25% of the US consumption for about 30 years. of course if we go back to $12 oil production would be less. surely no one thinks that alternatives will happen over night or even in twenty years for the masses, thus the potential 30yr hedge seems extremely reasonable given the limited environmental risk. how much does it cost in military hardware and military personnel expense to protect 2 mil bbls of imported oil supply? hdr
