We shouldn't have changed the law against exporting oil and we shouldn't ship a single quart or cubic foot out of the country unless and until the coal industry is back in full swing supplying coal to generate electricity. Even then, we should only ship what we produce beyond our own annual requirements.
It is wrong to use the federal government to pick winners and losers in private industry.
It makes a lot of sense to export surplus expensive light sweet crude oil while we import cheaper heavy sour crude oil many refineries were already designed to run.
All crude oils are not equal.
Dropping the oil export ban has saved American jobs, and you get cheaper gas prices too. The ban a horrible law!
