Let us consider economics. Oil consumption in the USA has been stuck around 20 mb/d for the last 20 years after decades of rise. The transportation sector is ever so surely changing from fossil fuels to electricity. Higher fuel costs will accelerate the change and cause those abandoned oil wells in Montana to resume production.

There is no evidence that crude oil prices will ever rise enough to make ANWR drilling profitable. I say leave ANWR as it is, the birth place of life to feed alaskans.
