Replying to NS Help: Persuasive speech regarding drilling in ANWR

  Hi friends.  I'm preparing for a speech, and I need your help.  I surveyed my COMM212 class, and the overwhelming majority is staunchly opposed to drilling in the ANWR.  The assignment is to argue against the majority opinion, thus I need to present an argument for drilling.

  I noticed several threads a while back (none now that oil prices have swan dived) about this issue, and I was hoping you guys could help me run down some solid sources, stats, etc. in building my case.  Remember, I need stats and info that SUPPORT drilling in ANWR.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
