Environmentalists are also right to be offended by the "drill at all costs" mentality of a majority party and an administration that refuse to take any other meaningful measures to curb the nation's oil consumption.

Drilling In Anwr - Drilling in ANWR won't solve our problems - Baltimore Sun
Robert H. Nelson's "drill-baby-drill" inspired commentary piece ("ANWR: Obama's missed opportunity on energy," Feb. 17) claiming that the environmental movement views the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as the Garden of Eden would be laughable if it weren't so tragically misguided.
Drilling In Anwr - Drilling in ANWR won't solve our problems - Baltimore Sun
By increasing supply and surpressing prices, increased offshore and ANWR oil production would only lead to further increases in demand, ensuring that US dollars will continue to flow to oil-rich dictatorships and their terrorist clients.

The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
So the economic effect looks to be pretty marginal.
The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
Note that these are prices for a barrel of crude–not a gallon of gasoline.
The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
Additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR would be only a small portion of total world oil production, and would likely be offset in part by somewhat lower production outside the United States.
The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
The opening of ANWR is projected to have its largest oil price reduction impacts as follows: a reduction in low-sulfur, light crude oil prices of $0.41 per barrel (2006 dollars) in 2026 for the low oil resource case, $0.75 per barrel in 2025 for the mean oil resource case, and $1.44 per barrel in 2027 for the high oil resource case, relative to the reference case.
The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
In other words, the absolute, best case scenario for ANWR’s oil production is that if we open it up today, then 19 years from now the price of a barrel of oil will be $1.44 less than it would have been.
The Economic Benefits of Drilling in ANWR? Negligible.
While the most likely case expects that 17 years from now, a barrel of oil will be about 75 cents cheaper.

Baby Jay
We've made a commitment that this is -- this is during the Eisenhower administration, by the way.
Baby Jay
So it's quite a minimal amount when you look at the word oil supply.
Baby Jay
This is where the future of energy is.
Baby Jay
And the reason is, is that this represents less than half of 1 percent of the world's oil reserves.
Baby Jay
You know, a Republican, Teddy Roosevelt, started this whole shebang at the Pelican (ph) Refuge, and we've never violated that commitment.
Baby Jay
We've a finite resource in oil, just like we had a finite resource in whale oil, and we made a transition.
Baby Jay
And third -- and this is an important one, and maybe it's obvious but I think it's worth saying.
Baby Jay
That's number one.
Baby Jay
And I just think that's a commitment that we should keep.
Baby Jay
So it's really not a solution to our problem.
Baby Jay
We've made some national commitments to our grandkids.

And I appreciate your looking at this issue, but the fact of the matter is, if we're going to grow our economy, if we are going to seize the jobs of the next century, we have to get busy focusing our national debate and national investment on the new clean energy technologies or China is going to eat our lunch.

Additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR would be only a small portion of total world oil production, and would likely be offset in part by somewhat lower production outside the United States.

Let's not forget: Only six months ago, oil was selling for nearly $150 per barrel, while Americans were paying $4 a gallon and more for gasoline.

I also found that when Americans were apprised of the facts, most people became supporters of responsible oil and gas drilling in Alaska.
Sarah Palin: The case for drilling in ANWR | StarTribune.com
So, I want to remind our national leaders of this promise and make the case against this legislation: •Oil from ANWR represents a huge, secure domestic supply that could help satisfy U.S. demand for more than 25 years.
Sarah Palin: The case for drilling in ANWR | StarTribune.com
•ANWR sits within a 20 million-acre refuge (the size of South Carolina), but thanks to advanced technology like directional drilling, the aggregated drilling footprint would be less than 2,000 acres (about one-quarter the size of Dulles Airport).
