Prepare for the big vein to jump out of John's forehead... I was watching FOX news last night... channel flipping by my wife I assure you... Their commentator said something along these lines; IF (30% (Rick's number)) the Oil Refining in the US is inacessable... (understand they don't make OIL there, they refine it...) therefore opening up strategic reserves of OIL to the accessible 70% that can still get Oil from other sources is not necessary. Maybe though the Financial Times will have credibility where Faux News doesn't. http://news.ft.com/cms/s/1eb860c4-1a54-11da-b279-00000e2511c8.html Notice the EU keeps OIL and GAS(Petrol) reserves, not just oil. They also say its 10% refining, 20% production, where 30% comes from I don't know... -- "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought." --Basho .
