Reply to comment by SillyNluv in 4 giant offshore terminals proposed in Texas would increase US oil export capacity by 6.5 million bpd. This July US oil exports hit their record monthly high: 3.8 million bpd by Dylan-Baddour

I’m left-leaning but energy prices are sky high right now, and people are hurting because of it. We NEED to keep producing oil until we have a sufficient supply of renewable energy. Unless you are ok with everyone paying $300 for a sandwich, and $50 for a bag of chips?

Energy prices are sky high now due to greed. And if we NEED to keep producing oil to off-set that, we probably shouldn’t sell it to other countries.

...if you believe what you just we’re fucked. You can’t say 30 year inflation high without saying highest profits in 70 years in the same breath.

Prices at home are high, in large part, because the US is exporting oil now. (US export ban was only liften in Dec 2015.)

Lol that has nothing to do it with. Especially seeing as US shale isn’t profitable at low price points
