That's step one. Get rid of mideast oil importation through alternate venues.
While working on every other alternative energy source and system.
And anwar isn't the only viable field out there - the bakken fields and others would help eliminate our dependence on arab oil.

I understand it wouldn't be our only source of supply...I merely use that figure to point out that the argument that "It's all the environmentalists fault" is not an argument based in reality, furthermore, not only would it take a long time to get the oil online, it would go into the world market.
Alternatives are the way to go...oil has so many other uses besides carting our sorry asses around producing smog.
