Yes, but not in large enough quantities.
I had read a few years ago that in two decades, we may be able to get 3 million barrels of oil per day out of it. That's significant enough but America currently consumers 26 million barrels.
As for ANWR, though I support drilling, it is estimated that at best we can get 300,000 barrels per day out.
Yeah, believe Rand wrote that a few years ago for the DOE. I believe their numbers are more in the 6 mil range now. It wouldn't be an instant fix but 5 years down the road it could have major implications on our economy if plans were implemented now to begin production.
I thought most Alaskans wanted to drill in ANWR.

I am Alaskan and I would rather the Arctic National Wild Refuge be left alone; many Native tribes from the area do as well.
Generally, though, what does the broad population want?
Most Floridians don't want any drilling off the coasts.
Here in Florida, the biggest industry is tourism. There is a real fear across the political spectrum that the energy business will drive tourists away. It is a highly polluting industry. We're not sure why we should risk our livelihoods for the rest of the country.
As for ANWR, drill in it.
What's Florida going to do when no one can afford to visit Florida?
Go fishing.
They will need to to eat. Of course they could always just garnish the social security checks of all those blue hairs down there.
By the way, what happened to all that liberal compassion for the rest of the country you Dems are supposed to have? Pretty selfish just worrying about Florida instead of what is good for the country, donchya think?

Most Floridians don't have any say in the matter. The media and a bunch of special interest groups all scream about it and the media wants everyone to assume we don't want it, but I've never seen it come to a vote. Put it to a vote today and see what the outcome is.
