He says we have plenty of oil, Enough supply to last 100s of years, so theres no shortage.
He says we have a gigantic supply in Alaska but environmentalists keep blocking us from drilling.
He also said we're using Russian oil right now, which is a half a cent cheaper, and it smells like rotten eggs because they dont refine it well.
I just filled half a tank on my car, just an mid sized car, and it was $40. I couldnt believe it.

This just confirms that you know an idiot, now as far as repeating well that does not say the best.
There is not enough anywhere to last 100 years. Hell we have depleted around half of the worlds supply already if not more in the last 80 years or so and the consumption rate has really been accellerating. For instance we used more in the last 20 than the previous 60, and we have used more in the last 10 than that first 20.
Then debated again here before. Anwar is not the answer and it would supply the US with out 5-8% of its need for about 2 years max before it hit peak and then died off. Only thing we would do in Alaska is make the oil companies a few more billion, make some local indians a few million, give residents some more money each year and of course fuck up one of the last non fucked up places on this planet.
