Arctic May Hold 90 Billion Barrels of Oil, U.S. Says

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The Arctic may hold 90 billion barrels of oil, more than all the known reserves of Nigeria, Kazakhstan and Mexico combined, and enough to supply U.S. demand for 12 years, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

One-third of the undiscovered oil is in Alaskan territory, the agency found in a study released today. By contrast, a geologic formation beneath the North Pole claimed by Russian scientists last year probably holds just 1.2 percent of the Arctic's crude, the U.S. report showed.

...

The region above the Arctic Circle also holds an estimated 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, equal to 27 percent of the world's known gas reserves, the study showed. Almost 40 percent of the gas reserves are in Russia's West Siberia Basin.

Say no to drilling in ANWR.

If your car burns gasoline say 'yes' to drilling!!!!

That makes about as much sense as saying that driving an SUV supports terrorism.

That's twice you've said that. It doesn't make sense. You're right.

But every barrel of oil we drill domestically means we import one less barrel. Which is good.

...compared to reducing consumption thru high fuel efficiency standards, it pales in comparison. T. Boone Pickens is right....we can't drill our way out of our foreign oil dependency. What we need is some common sense solutions, not feel good rhetoric.

Great! What happens after we burn all that up???

yes! like wind, solar and nuclear. Hydro too but I don't think we have room for more dams. Maybe tidal then.

conservation too

I just read that hydrogen cars are about 15 yrs. down the road, even with government funding.
