Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) spoke of the benefit of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) on Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer yesterday.

I’m talking about sensible exploration and drilling in the coastal plane. We’ve got an opportunity up there for perhaps the largest find in North America that we have seen. We’ve got an opportunity up there for a million barrels a day coming into this country. A million barrels a day is what we saw when Katrina and Rita took us offline.
