The tar sands are coming on line. Those are SA sized reserves, and they're right next door in a friendly country.
We'll expect to be paid for the oil, but we're not going to expect blood for it.
I'd leave ANWR alone; it's a drop in the bucket next to the tar sands, and there aren't the same kinds of concerns; there's not a lot of wildlife there as grass doesn't grow too well in bitumen-soaked sand.
