dude. we are not talking about the gasoline. we are talking about the oil being used to make the gasoline. what percentage of the crude oil being refined into American gasoline is American produced crude oil?
yes but how much of that gasoline was made from American crude oil? America has plenty of refineries, just none of them designed for American oil
the government should at least subsidize a couple so in the event of an apocalypse we can make our own gasoline.
correct me if I'm wrong, but the United States doesn't even have oil refineries that are capable of making gasoline out of American oil? like we need the type of oil that the middle East has, so we're constantly trading oil back and forth even though we have plenty of it
I think I've heard this is true. something about politicians wanting to look environmentalist and therefore preventing the building of any more refineries
I personally don't worry too much about theory, I just try to make sure that my worldview is based on compassion for others
oh man time to start digging up some old TV commercials
I didn't say it didn't eliminate the problem, I said it didn't make the question in the back of my mind go away
lame. i got fentanyl & Versed
i got one when i was diagnosed with them at 18 but it's time for another (they give you really good drugs for a colonoscopy)
yeah from what people are telling me, we have the capability of processing lower quality crude oil so it makes more sense to export our high quality stuff, then buy the cheap stuff since we can already refine it.
