I think you all are missing a major point here. The arguments aren't about logic at all, they're about values. If you happen to put a higher value on having cheap gas so you can drive your SUV around an urban landscape than on Arctic landscapes, you probably favor drilling in ANWR. Once that value judgement is made, you might apply logic to figure out how to do the drilling, what the costs will be, and whether the result is cost-effective, but that logic doesn't affect the initial value judgement.
