“I detest regulations. But in this case oil products coming from American soil need to sold within the nation, surplus sold outside. I suspect American producers are owned by foreign interests and need to be reigned in.”

What about if we simply follow Free Market principles and not adopt the economic policies of Venezuela?
the oil industry claims it is all supply and demand - I don’t see it. The American public has been taking it on the chin from Washington, Wall Street and the oil industry.

So, even if Keystone is approved, even if we drill more oil, we’ll still be paying out the wazoo for fuel. We could still see shortages if fuel is exported for the highest price.
