If we are producing so much, why isnt it cheaper?

reply

We're making up for reduced global production stemming from the various wars going on.

reply

We are starting to export it?

reply

We've always exported oil. Alaska's been exporting to Japan since the 70's.

reply

Oh, I thought they were talking about the oil fields in the midwest.

reply

That oil gets transported down to the refineries near the Gulf of Mexico. I believe they've been exporting oil from there since the fracking revolution.

I think the point is that the US has generally been importing more oil than it's been exporting.

reply

Fracking....its so bad for the earth.

reply

Is it worse than coal mining?

You wouldn't know this from certain media outlets.

reply

It's a classic story that's not really convenient for anyone, so everyone just pretends like it isn't happening.

reply

The media is ashamed that oil production is high

reply

Thanks for the zaps!
