Won’t it Take Ten Years To Get that Oil?

Ten years ago we were told that it would take ten years to get the oil out of ANWR and onto the market.

This argument is rather handy for opponents of domestic drilling because it allows them to eliminate a solution that they don’t like simply by inserting an amount of time between the discussion at hand at when the proposed solution is expected to take affect.
