I’m thinking that Texas could probably be energy independant if they chose to secede.

Great point- wouldn’t it be cool if they produced/distributed gasoline below the national average? Stuffing it in the face of the government and the oil speculators who artificially drive up oil prices whenever there’s a slight hiccup in world markets? Of course the government would probably pass some assinine law preventing, or making it illegal for states to produce and distribute their own oil
