“The magic price looks like something around $70 per barrel.”

The US should tariff imported oil to bring it to $70-$75 bbl.

And keep that posture for at least a decade.

It would be transformative. And further our strategic position.

I’ve heard that proposed before and it has many positives. I do worry about the inevitable and eventual Democrat run Government screwing thing up with that.

Mission creep, so to speak. Make domestic oil the equivalent of $200/barrel to force us into electric cars, for instance.
