Rick Perry is the greatest Energy Secretary in U.S. history. How do I know? Because America is a net exporter of crude for the first time ever, and a massive exporter of natural gas, with Perry visiting Poland and Hungary and signing agreements for them to import American gas, despite Russia right next door.
Thank you, Secretary Perry.
I grew up in the "malaise" and peak oil, and gas lines. Stupid me for believing that $hit.
Thank you Rick and Rock On America.
He’s done it all.
Sorry, that's incorrect.
People make that claim again and again on Free Republic.
It's possible America is a net exporter of “BTUs” - because of our very large exports of natural gas and bio-fuels.
But crude? Not happening.
Four Week Moving Average of “Net” Crude Imports:
3.5 million barrels per day.

It's important because crude oil runs almost our entire transportation system.
