#1 ANWR must be developed further before there is oil to put in the Alaska pipeline.

#3 It would be nice if they could foist Global Warming and Social Inequality upon the pipe as well.

#4 Makes sense. The heavy oil sands of Alberta have been developed to the capacity of the existing distribution system and there is room for a lot more development.
It's not clear there is enough additional oil in Alaska to even keep the existing pipeline operational for a lot longer.
There is a LOT of 'stranded' gas on the North Slope (both Alaska and Canada) and I thought a pipeline for that stuff would be coming along, but then they figured out how to get gas from all those shales and tight sands in the Lower 48, with better economics than the Arctic.

#5 Environmentalists seem to oppose any energy development but they absolutely hate development of the Albertan tar sands

#7 Glenmore...Estimates in the Beaufort are conservatively in the 15 to 20 bbl range, with the same in Chukchi. Nobody really knows about the minuscule piece of ANWR they want to drill, but estimates range from 5 to 25 bbl. And it's all relatively high quality crude.
