I still think we should just drill in Alaska. Who cares if we kill some freaking caribou? OPEC is the cause of high gas prices. They limit supply to keep prices high. If they wanted to they could flood the market with oil and we could have plenty of cheap gas, but greedy people exist outside of the "the west" too.

It is estimated that there are between 5.7 and 16 billion barrels of oil in ANWR. The Department of Energy website states that the US uses about 6.9 billion barrels of oil per year. Therefore, all of the oil in ANWR would last us anywhere between a little less than one year, to a little more than two years.

The answer is to find an alternative energy source. (NOT ethanol!)
