DougR says "All that oil just lying there that can be used to fuel our cars and our homes!"

For 180 days DougR, 180 days.

And who says 180 days?

Those far left environmentalist wackos at the US Department of the Interior*

*USFWS (2002), "Arctic National Wildlife, Refuge Report on the Potential Impacts of Proposed Oil and Gas Development on the Arctic Refuge's Coastal Plain: Historical Overview and Issues of Concern"

Then again, 180 days of oil does solve the whole problem 'cause the Bush supporters don't have memories that long.
