A barrel of oil in the ground is worth basically ZERO to the economy. A barrel of oil actually in a barrel is worth about $100 to the economy as either profits, salaries, equipment purchases, taxes, etc. Pumping oil out of the ground literally CREATES wealth.

And yet...it is illegal in most of the US.

Don’t forget - Bill Clinton ‘transformed’ us into an Information/Service economy — *creating* wealth may not be exactly illegal, yet, but it’s certainly frowned upon...
