Perhaps the government should set a percentage of fuel to be kept in the US before allowing the tax benefits and profits for foreign sales....

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,553 Points:2,371,260 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Oct 29, 2012 3:08:48 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Russia Increasingly Worried About US ‘Shale Revolution' and they should be. Big Oil and Big Gas exports fuel and natural gas to other countries that will pay more for it, much more than here. There will be NO price reduction or cheaper prices for natural gas IN the US, so it does NOT matter how much crude oil or natural gas is produced. 'Coming out of the closet' Sneeky's lousy, smoke and mirrors, lack of jobs, dog and pony show and in the crapper economy, the 'jobs' are Not here. Sneeky's economy is not improving but continues to hurt the population and the job numbers continue to be down. People will still drive and buy fuel no matter what but it sure helps to have a job too! Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII!
