Reply to comment by Mountain_Fig_9253 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
The US banned oil exports from 1975 until December 2015. When Obama promised to veto the bill to approve exports, Republicans added it to appropriations bill. https://ballotpedia.org/Crude_oil_export_ban
This should be Democrats' talking point about high gas prices, because that is the reason our gas prices got so much higher.
