Read the exchange more carefully. Dirtyboy melted down into insults so I cut him off.
He’s got nothing because he knows there is no guarentee the oil we pump in an expansion will do anything to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. It will become the property of the oil company and go on the global market. Period.
So when you hear they are going to pump US oil to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, that is only true if the lease with the oil companies reflect that agreement as a condition of the lease. Otherwise it is globalist bunk all over again, and again and again.
Sorry Sara, you lost me after "Dirtyboy".
Your debating skills suck.
I showed that we still import far more than we export. And that most of our exports are almost entirely finished products because our consumption has dropped so much. We export to places like Argentina with crappy socialistic policies that you approve of that prevent them from having enough refining capacity to refine their own oil, so they have to import it.
It will become the property of the oil company and go on the global market. Period.
OK, Sara, YOU bid on the lease and figure out how to get it out of the ground, back to shore, refined and in your car.
** crickets **
I statistically refuted all of your nonsensical claims about exporting our oil. But I guess facts are not your currency of choice, so your uninformed and unsubstantiated rantings stand as a monument to your particular brand of socialistic ignorance. Hey, maybe there is an anti G-20 rally you could attend to join your other brethern who decry corporations as they eagerly gobble up what those corporations produce.
