NOBODY can provide a cite to an absense of information, which is what Matt is requesting of me. So you are admitting that you have no information. Great! If *he* is correct, he can easily prove it by merely citing a credible source that says there are in fact "proven reserves" in ANWR. (He can't because there are none.) But there is nothing that I or anyone can cite that proves there are no such sources. But the first result of a Google search of "ANWR oil reserves" gives this link. http://www.doi.gov/news/030312.htm Which in part says, "The Coastal Plain of ANWR's 1002 area is the nation's single greatest onshore oil reserve. The USGS estimates that it contains a mean expected value of 10.4 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil. Estimates... that makes it, not a "proven reserve", but what is called a "probable reserve". They are guessing based on a lack of drilled wells to demonstrate that there is *any* oil there at all. To be intellectually honest there is no way to PROVE oil reserves short of pumping it ALL out of the ground and counting the barrels. Until you do that it is all an educated guess. So I posted an educated guess that there is 10.4 billion barrels under ANWR. So to get he information and proof you want we have to pump what is there out. I say we go for it. If when they empty it out and if we find you are right and I am wrong I will publicly apologize. If the promise of my apology isn't enough think how much money the big, mean oil companies will loose if there isn't enough oil there. That should make you happy. |
