In fact, no oil company has shown any interest at all in
ANWR for years. Nothing close to ANWR has attracted any
attention either.

When ANWR was big in the news a few years ago, various experts were
interviewed for their projections as to what percentage of our oil could be
provided by wildly successful drilling in the region. If I recall, even the
oil companies were tossing around numbers like 4%. Maybe this is why there's
not much interest in the region.

I'm a big proponent of adding together small advantages to get a bigger one,
but at some point, one must say "Get serious, or fuhgettaboutit".
