Hi Horace,
Study the Alaska petroleum situation and learn the pipeline is a British
owned venture ( Aleaska Pipeline company). The steel pipe used in
construction of the pipelinecould only be rolled in the size required by
aJapanese firm. Japan get the crude. There is no assurance that the US would
receive any crude from ANWR. What a mess !

Despite my facetious remarks about biofuels earlier in this thread, it
looks like we are going to need every possible source of energy in the
near future. Biofuels will probably come at a severe cost to our farming
base, but may be essential to get through the coming years. The harm
caused by growing crops for fuel makes drilling in ANWR, which can easily
be remediated, look trivial by comparison at this point. A soil free
method might work, but cost and volume of production would then be
barriers.
