TEXAS will continue to grow, our Nation will continue to grow... and that metrosexual in Washington can’t do a damn thing to stop it.

All of our domestic production now narrowly exceeds our exports from outside of North America. That’s nice but we still have ~2.7MM bpd coming in from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Russia, Kuwait, Nigeria and Angola. There’s another ~1.2MM bpd coming from South America which is only moderately more stable than the previously mentioned countries.
Looking at this from an oil security point of view, I’d love to see the US work towards a policy of having our supply satisfied from just within the western hemisphere. Later we can work towards an exclusively North American policy.
TEXPEC, soon to be the 8th largest oil producing country in the world.
