Actually, gas is still affordable. You're blowing it out of proportion

If China becomes a major exporter of oil to the US. Is that a good thing?

You have to stop minimizing the issue. It's vastly important to everyone I know. Maybe it's the area I live in.

If you're asking for my personal strategy, I would like to see an alternative become very competitive, and sustained high prices are the only way that's going to happen. But this thread is about major issues that might affect the party in power in an election year. And I'm presenting a PR strategy to solve the problem using the oil infrastructure that we currently have.
