oil you drill. It will be piped off and sold on the international market. There is no guarantee it will stay in the US.

Or maybe, the preference of utility companies for gas-fired plants over coal-fired?

coal cost more per kilowatt to make than what elec is selling for, coal is dead till we run out of nat. gas.

SO far debate looks good Rmoney sounds nervous.

Hope Koch gas/oil hoarding comes up.

GM sell lots of Buicks in china, they use gas. Rmoney should call for GM bankruptcy again, trash jobs so his car elevator fleet has cheap gas.
