I need a quick oil answer. I just heard my wing-nut Congressman speaking. I’m going back to see him at 3:00. But I’m leaving in a few minutes for a lunch appointment (no internet access until the event). If you see this (or anyone else who knows answer and can link quick info), my question is this.
He said that the best estimates are that there is enough oil in ANWR so that we would not need to import oil from Iran, Venezuela or Syria for the next 20-30 years. This strikes me as patent bullshit. But I didn’t have the info at my fingertips to dispel it at that time. Help if you can, or I can just put it down as a letter to the editor later.
Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe ANWR drilling is the answer to all our prayers. Our crops are saved. Wooo-hooo. You should have heard this nutter. Describing ANWR as the dark, awful region where the citizens fully support our going up there and drilling. I was in shock to listen to the guy. He painted quite a picture. Fuck that wildlife refuge. Total fucking sack.
