Drilling in ANWAR would do nothing to offset prices. I am fully opposed to it as all it would do is destroy one of the last pristine areas on the planet. They say even if they went ahead with drilling it would be nearly 8-10 years before any of that oil even reached market. It would not affect prices at all. Also, there's not THAT much oil there. It may sound like a lot....but I read somewhere that based on current US consumption, we'd suck it dry in less than a year if we soley used it as our fuel source. (which is impossible)

We really do need $6-7 fuel, so the majority of guzzler vehicles are removed from the roads.
