The only likely change regarding ANWR in the next few years will be whether President Obama declares ANWR a national monument. There'll continue to be no movement in Congress to open it to drilling. Particularly given how good motivated Senators have gotten at filibustering change.

I can see why, from where you stand, it often seems like the people you interact with are condescending. Frankly, I don't see that they have much choice.
