Did the bill ever get passed? Did they ever end up drilling in ANWR?In 2005 the senate decided to open ANWR to oil drilling, whatever happened to that?
In a nutshell: Although the law was passed the law was probably illegal anyway if that makes sense.
ANWR, local tribes, enviromental risks are all major hurdles to making the plan workable. Big Oil would also like to know if there is also oil in the Bering Sea / Arctic Ocean which needs to be worked into any plans.
It will happen and it will be messy. Senate commitees were sweet-talked with oil rig footprints 1% of the 1970's and ice roads. Obviously none of this was written into the legislation- and Alaska will just be a colder Texas for Big Oil.
