Go ahead. Right now our domestic oil production is slowing to the point of shut down due to the oil glut. We have more then enough potential production outside the ME to take up the slack. The only reason we are addicted to ME oil is the Saudis sell it cheap.
I’ll take some pain at the pump to end the 40 year Middle Easte war we have been fighting.
What I don’t understand and i have friends that can probably explin it to me is why we import oil at all when we have the ability to produce the oil here through fracking or in the Gulf of Mexico.
