[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4084832, member: 42584"] I don't personally get into the 'environment protection' or 'pollution' side of the arguments. Modern society/industrialization is going to pollute - fact of life! You can talk-up about paying higher prices at-the-pump as long as it's AMERICAN crude being used, but the fact is most Americans are NOT willing to pay those higher prices. Look at Walmart. A few years back they had a big push for "Buy American" (American made products) but the actual result was that most shoppers would NOT pay the higher prices that American-made products demanded. That is why Walmart is still all about cheap foreign made junk (that Americans buy to the tune of $Billions every year). [/QUOTE]
