[[If we are not paying market rates for the product,]]
This might be a problem as thigns produced here generally costm ore than thigns that we import- hence why we import- not sure if import oil is cheaper than domestically produced oil, but it woudl seem that it will be quite expensive to go compeltely domestic for our total oil use- Derek workers get a massive salary as opposed to oil workers overseas- as well oil companies here have to pay farm ore in fines, permits etc etcd etc- Import oil may be what’s keeping prices down some- I don’t know-
Oil is like gold, silver, wheat etc. It is a globally priced commodity. It doesn't matter where it comes from for the price. What does matter is quality and the cost of transportation. That is variation in price.
