Number 1 US EXPORT ..... Fuel !!!!!
« on: January 02, 2012, 07:30:02 AM »
According to the US Census the number 1 export in 2011 (through October) was fuel!!!!  Gasoline, Diesel, etc.
I am beginning to feel that much like the "security theater" of the TSA, Patriot Act etc. we are really being lead down the garden path.
I thought I was a fairly informed person, but now....
At least Adam Smiths "invisible hand" is at work, directing the product to the highest bidder.  But let's not imagine we really don't have enough oil.
If we have enough oil AND refinery capacity to make fuel the #1 export - ???  Who's zooming who.

Usabelli Coal Mine exports Millions of tons of coal every year.   It all goes to Pacific Rim Countries, Korea, Japan, Phillipines, China, and Southeast Asia countries.  Yet they (The EPA) are trying to force us not to use it here in the US.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Yep, we sell far more coal overseas than we use.  A lot goes to Europe also.  Chemicals are no. 2 behind fuels.  Don't know how much food is exported.

Those who say no pipeline sure can't think for themselves. They say it will mean more pollutants in the air. So, as the American people suffer their decisions, China buys the oil and the pollutants get in the air.
