The Case for Not Drilling ANWR

From what I read ANWR would produce 800,000 BBD crude (for how long?).
We currently import more crude from our buddy, Hugo Chavez, in Venezuela....1,200,000 BBD. Want more perspective? Total OPEC imports....5,900,000 BBD. Total imports....13,000,000 BBD.
Current US production...5,100,000 BBD. ANWR isn't a solution. A shift to vehicles on alternate energies is. A near-ban on plastics made even remotely from oil is also. Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House, Ronald Reagan took them down. Let's Roll!!!

WSJ Report: What Apple Will Be Creating in 5 Years

Five years is an eternity in tech. Forrester doesn't have enough imagination to see where we'll be. If they did, they'd be another Apple.
I disagree the focus will be on the home. Apple's big hits aren't from products hidden away behind your four walls, it's from products your peers see you have (and they want).

Perhaps it's the strength of certain sectors that also happen to reside in the midcap category as well.
