You can buy Arab oil refine it and put it in your tank.

Or the same crowd that wants me to drive a little beep-beep car can be told to go pack sand and we can drill domestically. The Arabs will have oil they cannot sell and we can buy it if they lower the price enough and we feel friendly that day.

What are the Arabs going to do? Sell sandles made from old car tires? They produce oil and terror, nothing else. Domestic production will turn off the money valve and they will be at our mercy or we can drive three wheel cars made by Makita.

Seems like a simple choice for me.

Are you aware that only about 60% of a barrel of oil goes into the making of fuel? The whole reason that you can type your thoughts on your keyboard is because it is made from oil, many of the roads you drive on, (asphalt) comes from oil.

Many medical supplies and surgical aides comes from oil, and the list is vast indeed.

We will be quite dependent on oil for some time to come. Don't get me wrong, it will be wise to reduce the usage where ever possible by we can't easily eliminate it.

Me Too. It's crazy we do not use our own natural resources.

I'm all for domestic production.
