We are a long, long way from being an oil exporter. We import significantly more oil the we produce ourselves.
If the oil producers want to export the oil we can find new producers that WON’T..
The oil in America belongs to Americans.. not the oil producers..
International oil producers need to git their minds right.. or who needs them..
Oil and Gas have become a commodity of National Security..
Like Newt says the Energy Dept. needs to be eliminated..
OIL is today used as a weapon... a weapon of mass blackmail..
Take that weapon out of foreign hands and the world will change..
Other producing nations will do the same..
It ALL STARTS with a serious look at the federal reserve..
International money scammers run that place.. AND OWN the multi national Oil Companys..

Don't be misled.
The U.S. is now exporting a modest amount of fuel (refined product) from the Gulf Coast.
There is a reason, however.
Normally, the excess production on the Gulf Coast would be sent to the Northeast for consumption.
However, there is insufficient pipeline capacity to handle the excess production. Why? Because the environmentalists have created a legal bottleneck on additional products pipleline capacity.
So, why isn't the excess refined product put on a tanker and shipped to the Northeast?
Because federal law requires that all shipments between U.S. ports employ U.S. flagged ships and fully unionized crews. Which are prohibitively expensive. p> As a consequence, the excess refinery production on the Gulf Coast is exported to Caribbean markets. And the Northeast's requirements are met by imports from Nigeria.
It's more efficient that way!
Environmentalists and the federal government are 99% of what's wrong with our energy situation today.
