Ten Big Accomplishments in Less Than Ten Years

Tell a liberal that you think there should be drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and you can expect to hear that it will take 10 years to get that oil out of the ground. TEN years! Which is far too long of course, because in ten years, crude oil will be useless to the world. Right?
That’s the mantra from the left, though. Ten years will pass before we see anything from ANWR. It’s hard to believe when you consider the following ten things were done in less than ten years:
[...]
Are we to believe that in the early 1900s, we could move “238,845,587 cubic yards of material” in Panama, creating the canal where the French failed, but we cannot get oil out of the ground in Alaska in the same time?
Are we to believe that we can build a railroad in the 1800s from Omaha to Sacramento in less than ten years, but it will take us longer to drill a hole in the ground and start pumping oil? ANWR is only 50 miles from Prudhoe Bay. Last I checked, Omaha was a little further than that from Sacramento.
It is hard to believe that with the infrastructure already in place, with the technology available to the oil companies allowing them to drill horizontally, that it would take ten years to start seeing any crude from ANWR. There are estimates that say it could take anywhere from 18 months to two years to see results.
We will need oil in two years and we will need oil in ten years. Why are we refusing to use the natural resources here in America while transferring billions and billions of dollars to nations that are our enemies? It defies logic.
