re:"keep it as another strategic reserve and use the other guys oil. Would you be in favor of just tapping into the oil and letting it there for an emergency"

There is a strategic oil reserve. It is located on the North Slope (just as is Section 1002, of ANWR - the section of ANWR that was set aside for possible oil drilling in 1980). The reserve is located directly to the West of Prudhoe Bay and the Alaskan pipeline - just as ANWR section 1002 is directly to the east of Prudhoe Bay and the pipeline.

I seen an article by greenpeace, that estimates the recoverable oil reserves at the National oil reserve to be about 10B barrels.
