[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jomama: [QB] In truth, no-one knows for certain how much oil is there (if any). They did do a very limited amount of seismic surveys and thats where the #'s get thrown around by both sides (the min amount by the enviros & the max est. by the pro-drillers). If these est. are correct it would only reduce foreign dependence by 2-4%. I know 2 geologist who work for BP and they said that they are serious guestaments though. They also said that much of the oil under ANWR could be extracted anyway, without placing anything inside ANWR's boundary, they have the capability to basically drill sideways or at an angle, so the pad could be outside ANWR, and then drill at an angle underneath it. Like I said the oil companies themselves have basically stayed out of it and haven't pushed for it. It does look promising that they're gonna build a natural gas pipeling alongside the trans-alaska pipe, it'll then cut into Canada which has a substantial nat gas infrastructure already, and I think the intended terminus is Chicago......
