Yeah, you get a Sway endorsement on that one and it is gratifying in the extreme that to see your new found respect for the fungibility of oil. I'd only add that it has now been over a year wasted on that unrealistic ten or fifteen years it was going to take to start pumping our own oil. It'll always be ten years off, if we never give approval to do it.

With prices so low, maybe this would be a good time to "stimulate" the moribund domestic oil industry and re-stock the strategic petroleum reserve. We're stimulating the construction of nature trails, maybe each one could have an oil derrick alongside of it!
