Think it's because Texas accounts for more than one-fourth of total U.S. refining capacity?
Good effort...but no.
It's the "free market", and that oil is going to the highest bidder, just like all of our domestic oil is doing now...we can't even afford "our" oil, that's why we export more than we import.
If it was about keeping it here, we could already do that.

Think the gas and oil companies are any different, think again. They will rape and pillage whatever they can and leave us with the cleanup. It is disgusting what Corps get away with in this country.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.
