Bunnhabhain - how does one pronounce that?

The main reason for not waiting is that the greatest economic feature to drawing oil from ANWR is that the big pipeline is there. The big pipeline, however, is pushing 30 years old, and the oil it is channeling south is diminishing. It makes more sense to get the oil out while the pipeline is still being well maintained and up to the job.
