Before you run on about foreign oil, you need to become more familiar with how energy is produced. Just like oil sands don't make sense with oil below $50, off shore may actually require more energy to refine and ship then actually creates.
Yeah, I'm one of those foreigners. We're certainly well known as beer drinkers, but the doughnuts?
I'm also in the middle of the Atlantic, pumping oil out of the ocean, and it seems to paying well.
I also have worked in the Oil Sands in 1980, when oil was well below $50. dollars, and a considerable profit was being made.
Roostking :As for the U.S. using their own resources, I think you'd find, that although it is somewhat being horded, there is not enough to be self sufficient, and the U.S. would be in serious trouble without foreign oil. ( BTW; IMO; I also believe the rest of the world would be in trouble without the U.S./ period !)
Seth : I think you need to wake up to the reality of the amount of oil being produced throughout the world from offshore sources, and consider the current state we are in, and where the entire world would be without this huge offshore supply (referencing your earlier post.) You seem to be very adept at telling other people what to consider without having thought it through yourself.
I do however appreciate the Canadian humour, because we & the U.S., are much closer than most countries, more like real good neighbours.
It's kind of fun that offshore oil is buying my car!!
