After listening to segment one, I would like to know why Dr. Ireland wasn't explaining why we should be building new refineries here in the United States that can handle the lighter "fracked" crude, instead of arguing that we should be selling it overseas and importing heavier crude that is suited to our current refineries.

We already refine more oil than we use in the US. We export the surplus refined products. There is not an refinery shortage.

Exporting the expensive light sweet while importing the cheaper heavy sour many of our refineries are already optimized to use makes the most sense.

Different subject, however I am sure that some will ask her on that as a topic, it might just be a short answer, though
