While I agree that the ban should be repealed, it’s effect is not as great as one might believe. Any domestic production consumed domestically is oil not imported. It’s effect on the world market is about the same either way - unless we begin to produce a surplus of our own, that is.

Mainly it will help encourage more domestic oil production, instead of those jobs going elsewhere.
