I'm old enough to remember that time America was energy-independent and didn't have to use all that fuel to transport oil from the Middle East, and didn't need to spill the blood of our beautiful infantry in the Middle East.
It was like a beautiful dream, frens, a very beautiful dream.
“Energy independence” just means we produce more than we consume. All petroleum goes on the world market, almost none of it is produced here just to be used here.
The petroleum trade is one of those rabbit holes you can spend days going down. Especially the petrodollar.
Oh, thanks fellow 'pede, I guess I really hadn't thought about that. Just assumed that if we have natural gas here, we'd use it here, rather than import it because that just makes sense, in terms of saving the planet & using fewer resources.
I understand lefties oppose the Keystone pipeline due to climate concerns, yet don't seem to have a problem using a lot of petrol to transport fuel from across the Atlantic.
Common sense is more familiar to me than how the world energy market works, hahaha.
