Even before the drop in the price of oil, we were on balance importing more oil then we were producing by quite a bit. Banning importation would skyrocket the price domestically produced.
This is an expansion of what I said. All of it requires government intervention. That is never good.
Fair enough. For the record, I’m a 75 year old retired petro- chemical engineer and w/a record to prove it. As Cements advised, better to sit in silence and be presumed a schmuck than open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Good advice.
My first thought is why not a tariff on imported oil? Simple, easy elegant solution.

Limit oil imports! Limit all imports. USG is supposed to be _for_ We The People, USA.
