That's interesting...because they're already doing it in parts of Alaska not
in the ANWR, using eco-friendly "slimhole" techniques, at a cost of FAR less
than $80/barrel. I call BS (on whomever originally claimed it would cost
that much).

I had seen testimony from oil drilling firms who stated that because of
the difficulty of drilling through permafrost, only having seasonal access
(because they can't drive the big rigs
over it during the thaw months), and all the extra safeguards to prevent
oil spilling in a wildlife protected area, the cost per barrel would be
over $80. I assumed they knew of what
they spoke.
