[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1039425, member: 24302"] But being a net exporter doesn't mean that they aren't selling it here. And again the taxes on a gallon of gas are higher than what the oil companies make in profit per gallon. The true acid test would be to greatly limit or eliminate the import of Mideast oil and expect the oil companies to make up the difference, along with still importing from Canada and other friendly countries. Of course this would have to be phased in but give them incentives to keep the fuel here, such as tax breaks to drill on Federal land but that oil must remain in the U.S.. And saying we are becoming less dependent on oil is inaccurate because we are a petroleum based economy. Oil is in everything...our clothes, cosmetics, tires, the list is almost endless. The day we no longer have an economy based on oil is the day we run out unless true alternatives can be developed. [/QUOTE]
