We are also online to become energy independent. If we produce enough oil the price will fall, the dollar will strengthen. Of course I don’t believe Obama will allow that to happen. :-)
Due to the costs of fracking, producing our oil is only profitable above a certain global price. Falling oil prices will not be of benefit to us. We are nowhere near energy independence btw and even if we were, it still doesn’t fix the problems created by a crashed petrodollar. Our entire way of life is based on the petrodollar. If it were to suddenly crash today, you wouldn’t recognize your country tomorrow. You choose to ignore this threat at your own peril.
