Good article!
One thing to keep in mind is the tendency of environmentalists to dismiss the importance of oil finds in US territory as a way of gaining support for the notion that such "unimportant" drilling will add little to our supply and can do vast damage to the environment.
10 years ago...Anwar was dismissed as small and that it would take ten years to develop...meanwhile the caribou might be disturbed. Seems like if we had acted 10 years ago...some much needed American crude would be coming onto the market and maybe lowering prices a bit.
There doesn't seem to be the same concerns about the Bakken field, but let's see what happens as this expands further.
