Investors Business Daily again demonstrates the logic that the biased liberal media won’t.
“…It was thought that Chukchi’s waters northwest of Alaska’s landmass held 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas.”
“Today, Science magazine reports that the U.S. Geological Survey now finds it holds more than anyone thought — 1.6 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered gas, or 30% of the world’s supply and 83 billion barrels of undiscovered oil, 4% of the global conventional resources.
That’s enough U.S. energy to achieve self-sufficiency and never worry about it as a national security question again.”

The oil will sit there till the whilrwind apology tour is over in 2012. When a conservative is elected in a landslide, domestic sources for oil and natural gas will be sought with vigor.
Until then, expect the Putin & Co to set up a slant drilling operation right on the Bering Straight.
This all fine and dandy, but according to the 'lefties' the caribou will object.
