The EPA has indeed caused so much trouble for the US and the world as a whole. It does need to be reorganized or done away with completely. But then who would watch those who dump the poison into our drinking water?
It is a catch 22 as most people call it. Dang if you do, dang if you don't.
I agree that we need more refineries in the US and we need to export less fuel. But if we actually do have the reserves in storage that everyone believes where would that leave the refineries? Would they have to cut back production because our demand is gone?
I don't know what the answer is to this problem. But I do know that $4.19 a gallon for diesel is killing this country.

The EPA and feds need to take their heads out of the butts and use some common sense, this will never happen!!!!!!!!!
As far as
oil reserves go, my buddy who is a chemical engineer for EXXON/MOBIL and has been for 25 years told me recently and I quote: KNOWN
oil reserves in the USA at today consumption rate will last this country from 150 to 200 years,that is for KNOWN
oil reserves, they estimate there is at least double that that amount of oil/gas in the USA that they have not even explored yet!!!!!!!!!!
