I don’t see “market share” for a commodity as a viable estimation of any long-term plan. People will always buy the oil they need at the price that is best.

“I don’t see “market share” for a commodity as a viable estimation of any long-term plan. People will always buy the oil they need at the price that is best.”

What I am saying is that the spike will cause more American wells to be drilled, spur even more innovation in the American energy industry, lead to capital investment in infrastructure like pipelines, more refineries designed to process American crude oils such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI), and the expansion of port facilities to export oil.

All of this infrastructure is a capital investment that will remain after the artificial spike and will solidify America's position as an energy superpower.
