1. "Bob, first, even supporters of ANWR admit that it would take between 10 and 20 years before any oil from there would be commercially available to consumers. "

If there was no Bill Clinton veto in 1995 the time would be now.

2. "And even after it starts flowing, it isn't that big a field. "

A million bbl per day is not a big field = please.

3. "Of course, what would likely happen is that, once the nationally owned lands are opened, oil people will then press to open more. And more. And keep on drilling wherever they think there is a field."

Yeah - that is the idea.

I think fossil fuels themselves are the problem.

Say what? They are our life blood and will continue to be for a long time. We can mitigate their negative effects, but we'd shrivel up and die without them.
