Oh here we go again with Nance and his crazy speculative timelines.
Tomorrow he'll claim it's every 20 years. Then, a few hours later he'll claim it's every 6 months.
Huh, timelines without any proof? It's Nance's modus operandi.
That is correct. I am not going to do your research for you. You're a big boy, figure it out.
Sheesh, those lazy Neocons! Expecting me to write their criticisms? That's just boneheaded.
Stop with the hysteria, it just shows how immature you are. I've never said no to drilling. I've said drilling isn't the answer.
You are unable to recognize the vast difference between those two statements. That's willful ignorance on your part, Nance.
Nor are you able to reconcile the FACTS that I've presented with your wild speculation that you presented as fact. You refuse to acknowledge your lies. I cited a 2008 report which referenced the most recent data available, a 1998 study. You cited.... nothing.
The whole issue with this is that you make crap up and present it as fact. It's happened time and time again, and you're incapable of keeping your lies consistent, then run away from them when you're called on them. It seems you happily swallow the Neocon lies fed to you by Rush, Hannity and Savage without questioning them. It's pathetic.
And yet you said, referring to me: "You have these extreme absolutist positions that have no zero room for compromise."
Yes, I have principles. You should try it sometime.
More Nance lies. "The very low estimate is 10 billion barrels." No source, of course, it's Nance fantasy statistics at work, again.
Since you continue to spout fantasy statistics, I'll help you out. From the same source I cited above:
"In 1998, the USGS estimated that between 5.7 and 16.0 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil are in the coastal plain area of ANWR (also referred to as the 1002 Area), with a mean estimate of 10.4 billion barrels, of which 7.7 billion barrels falls within the Federal portion of the ANWR 1002 Area"
"The mean probability estimate refers to a 1-in-2 chance of there being oil resources at least equal to the size of that estimate; the 95-percent probability estimate refers to a 19-in-20 chance of there being oil resources at least equal to the size of that estimate; and the 5-percent probability estimate refers to a 1-in-20 chance of there being oil resources at least equal to the size of that estimate."
Can you read that, Nance? There's a 50% chance that there's 10.4 billion barrels of oil. There's a 95% chance that there's only 5.7 billion barrels of oil. And only a 5% chance of your other fantasy statistic of 16 million barrels.
You've still failed to show ANY PROOF of your "over 20 billion barrels of oil" that you wrote THIS MORNING. You completely lied in saying that the "very low estimate is 10 billion barrels." It's 5.7 billion.... HALF of what you erroneously claim it to be.
Stop lying.

Here's a clue, though: it will take less than a billion years, so scratch that off your list.
Another hint: I found it in three clicks.
I know, it's like an easter egg hunt that requires you to leave your comfortably ignorant Hannity-Rush-Savage world and venture out into the land of the light, but do play along.
