Bush’s wet dream finally came true.  After 44 years of being protected, our government opened up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling.  Bill Frist actually volunteered to go in first and personally club any baby seals that might be in the way of the oil rigs.

But no oil is likely to flow from ANWR for 10 years and peak production
of about 1 million barrels a day isn’t expected until about 2025,
according to the Energy Department. Currently, the United States used
about 20 million barrels of oil a day.

While a few people make billions off this project we can rest easy that the Bush administration has assured us that, hopefully, within twenty years, the drilling in what used to be the most protected, rare and untouched wilderness left in our country will be producing one twentieth of the oil we now consume.  Of course by then, the population will have grown and we’ll and we’ll be using more oil, so that number will probably decrease.  ANWR will probably be producing one thirtieth of the oil America uses.

Let’s hope kindergarten classes around the country are saying a thank you prayer to President Bush for his awesome foresight into solving the nations energy crisis and making a few of his friends even richer.
