Hi, Steve: Would you care to show how those losses would be offset by higher crude prices at home when most crude is extracted overseas? Seems simple enough to me. If the oil companies control 100% of the domestic product and they allow a lot less foreign oil into the US, doesn't that make their position more profitable? Doesn't less product and static or rising demand drive the price up? Open question to to the forum present: Do you agree with Steve that my assertion is so silly and so poorly reasoned as to tempt presumption that I'm not serious? Rick
