As a worker in the oil drilling industry, what we need are more refineries. We are drilling wide open in the Gulf of Mexico, and around the world. My company is a drilling contractor, so we get paid to work for the oil companies, and "money talks", so yes, our rigs get sent overseas to drill for the foreign oil companies, but like I said, "money talks". Very few, if any, of our drilling rigs are "stacked", which means not working. America could get their oil from American oil companies, and not rely on foreign countries. I saw something on an email that showed how much oil tha the "American" oil companies imported, and it was astonsihing! We're talking BP/Amoco, Shell, etc. Sonoco imported the least, but their stations are scarce where I live. Citgo is the one you DO NOT want to trade with, it is owned by Hugo Chavez of Brazil, and we all know how he is!
