My question is how much of this oil will remain in the U.S.? Oil companies can
export americas resources at elevated prices and import at higher cost from
other countries and pass these higher costs on to the consumers. American oil
companies can sell oil or gas produced at <$30 a barrel for $102, big profit,
then import the $102 a barrell and pass it on to the consumers. The oil from the
Alaskan pipe line all goes to Japan and not to the american market. Our natural
resources, wood, oil, coal, gas, and the price american companies put on our
natural resources for the american people are based on what the americn
companies sell our resurces for on the open market. We don't know the
difference because of ignorance and we all assume we are using our own natural
resources. New oil wells, gas, etc., is not for the american people, it's
for reselling on the world market. They make the american people look like they
are causing this perceived shortages as Americas resources are being plundered.
It's a collasso con-game and we americans, as usual, are eating it up and
taking it in the shorts. Knowledge is power!
