Oil isn't set to a national level. You drill, you refine it and sell to the market, that then gets sent to somewhere else, maybe back to the US, or maybe somewhere else. Turn off Faux News for a bit, will ya?
Also, ask your congressman why they refused the amendment to they Keystone bill. Oh, you didn't even hear about it, did ya? Well, all it proposed is that all the oil going through the pipeline would stay in the US. You know what happened? It got CRUSHED.
