will output from ANWR be like alaska crude?
http://powerpoints.wri.org/anwr/sld003.htm
from this we could just increase the refining of Alaska crude and really drop prices, sort of what happened in the early 90's
but then
"The West Coast oil glut elicited persistent expressions of concern from oil producers displeased with what they perceived as artificially depressed prices. "
We have plenty of oil now. We do not need to open ANWR.
