re: "And have infrastructure in place that allow these reserves to be used."
Impossible. No oil company would pay for infrastructure if you don't permit them to pump oil.
Or are you talking about the fed building roads, pipelines, and oil terminals out in the middle of nowhere? High-speed rail????
And anyhow, the objection to developing Anwar is precisely because of the infrastructure. If you go ahead and build that, then there's no reason not to pump. Doesn't make sense.
