Oh no, I agree with that. But not with the consumer setting the price via the supply and demand model. And it is NOT competitive in the world market.

Ahh…eh to an extent it is. The problem is it is a consumer market, and one that they know will sell regardless of price. I really think we should build new refineries in the Gulf and drill more oil there. Also, **WE NEED TO TAP ALASKA!!!** It is just sitting there doing nothing. If it is done right there will be little to no negative environmental impact…and its not like we are talking a state the size of Rhode Island…its 1/5 the size of the continental US for Christ sake.
