i think a key part of the equation is being left out. you can pull every barrel of oil out of the ground but unless you can process it it is virtually useless. refinery capacity in the united states has not increased since 1976-the date the last refinery opened. We saw what happened after Katrina when we lost the refineries on the lower mississippi.
