| The ANWAR thing is just political bullshit, at peak production it would produce 900k barrels a day. For just 10-15 years btw. Oil consumption is currently 75 MILLION BARRELS A DAY worldwide. US consumption is over 20 million daily. So its 0.5% of daily US or 0.1% of worldwide - saudi arabia or russia alone can ramp up more than anwar if they wanted to, in a single week. Its good that we have that extra oil, but its impact on long term oil futures contracts would be minimal - in some ways, you could even say futures already price in the eventual release of ANWAR into the worldwide oil supply. |

And a lot of the rise in oil prices is the result of rampant speculation. Opening ANWR could settle that down a bit.

| anyone think something bad might happen if we pull out too much oil? i worry that parts of the earth will collapse and expose us to earth's center. i'm sure the people living there aren't happy about that. |

| dont ask me how i know this but kolles statement refers to a group of people that believe there is an entire civilization of people that live in the center of the earth - that military expeditions to antartica have found it because spaceships come from the middle of the earth, and that most people on other planets live in the center of the earth. these people are a lot taller than us (which makes no physical sense at all). ./cry im so sad that i know this.
