All that is well and good, but there is still something that resounds throughout the populace: keep American crude oil for American refineries, for American consumption. Excess over domestic need/demand should be available for export.
Granted, the current wholly contrived market (due to fedgov intervention and regulation) is nothing but an impediment to production and delivery of petroleum products at all levels. As an exercise in the failures of government market regulation and control it would be difficult to find a better example than crude oil production, refining and delivery.
