Steve, I read it a few days ago. I think that it will take a decade or two to be widely accepted. I'm betting that the standard method of management by crisis will be how our country deals with the end of oil whether the writer is corrrect or not about the date. Mike Steve Schear wrote:

What Bush and cronies want to do in ANWR is entirely unrelated to strategy - they want the right to go make money by drilling on public lands. If it goes through in the near future watch how much the government spends on roads and other support to get the drillers in there and how much is payed in return by the oil companies.
Long-term energy strategy is more important than corporate greed. The most strategic thing to do with Alaskan oil would be to leave it right where it is. Dipping in to the reserves unnecessarily is moronic.
NB : I'm not opposed to drilling Alaskan oil - after Kuwait runs dry...
