That's an old myth DK. All of the oil produced in Alaska stays in the US.
Once pumped, it enters the global marketplace and goes to the highest bidder(s) that can be supplied the cheapest (the highest delta/profit, dontcha know).
Nonsensical. Oil is a global commodity. If we produced no oil in Alaska, it would simply mean that the global supply would be less pushing price higher. Every additional barrel produced in Alaska, or elsewhere, increases global supply. Keeping the Alaska oil for domestic use means we ship less dollars to other countries to pay for their oil.
Cheeze...talk about piling on. What, my response in #8 wasn't good enough for you?
