广东执信中学2013高三上学期期中英语试题答案(4)

　　Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defends Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review.
