Digging for Fire

There’s a place in Alaska we’d all like to go. Anwar. Alaska is FUN. If you’re a psychoctic nerd like me, you know all about Alaska from watching Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, It’s Tougher in Alaska, Survivorman, and the movies Insomnia and Mystery Alaska. Oh, and that one episode of Cops in Juno and the commercials for Alaskan Cruises.

What you might not know is how much OIL is there!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!!

In May of 2008 the Energy Information Administration said the following stuff:

“The opening of the ANWR 1002 Area to oil and natural gas development is projected to increase domestic crude oil production starting in 2018. In the mean ANWR oil resource case, additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR reaches 780,000 barrels per day in 2027 and then declines to 710,000 barrels per day in 2030. In the low and high ANWR oil resource cases, additional oil production resulting from the opening of ANWR peaks in 2028 at 510,000 and 1.45 million barrels per day, respectively. Between 2018 and 2030, cumulative additional oil production is 2.6 billion barrels for the mean oil resource case, while the low and high resource cases project a cumulative additional oil production of 1.9 and 4.3 billion barrels, respectively.” ^[23]),

The report also says:

“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 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.” ^[24])

Well roll me over and give me a Prison Massage!

Here’s a country we don’t have to invade: Alaska!. It was once part of Russia or Canada and Japan invaded it for a bit but now we own it! WOO HOO!

Now, don’t get all environmental on me. We need oil. It’s either this or we kill the Saudis via Israel. Think inside the box, man. There’s OIL inside the box!

But don’t take my word for it…
