Let this sink in : The United States of America produces enough oil & gas to supply our needs on a yearly basis, the problem ? Oil companies can make more money through profits and tax incentives shipping their product oversees than selling it here, the solution ? Let the oil producing companies make their money here and at the same time reduce our carbon footprint with less shipping, PS, did you ever care to look at the resources it takes to run an oil tanker overseas ? I didn't think so
