I wonder if Q can tell us why if the usa is the largest producer of petroleum and gas that we sell it to everyone else and then buy supply from other countries. I guess he is too busy stimulating peoples minds to worry about something related to the department of energy.

Q. Thankfully we did have Q to stimulate the awareness to see all of this from a non sheeple angle.

US has a large refining capacity. Companies move crude oil in and ship refined products, like raw gas, out to foreign customers. The government has no direct management of this process.

Second, not all crude oil is the same. It ranges from light to heavy, high to low sulfur and sour to sweet. The bulk of the oil currently produced in the United States is light oil. And not all refineries are the same. Many Gulf Coast and Midwest refineries were designed to process heavy oil from Canada, Venezuela and Mexico. To use more light crude domestically, refineries would need to pay less for their oil feedstock and would run in a suboptimal fashion, or require a significant investment in new infrastructure.
“There’s a mismatch between the new production we’re developing as an industry and our country’s existing refining capacity,” said Ryan Lance, ConocoPhillips Chairman and CEO. “To process this new, lighter oil, refineries would have to operate inefficiently or at a reduced rate. They need to buy oil at a discount in order to make it economic to refine it, which hurts domestic producers and ultimately, consumers.”
So because i have the thought that maybe we should produce and refine our fuel in house that makes me a snarky leftist.
Again my larger point is that if Q is rick perry then maybe he should stop the non sense and focus on his job instead of efforts to divide america.
No, it's because you haven't studied the issue that you are commenting on, and you don't understand the fundmentals of the global free market WRT energy. Even a non-expert, like myself, understands the fundamentals of oil and gas production from the hole in the ground to the en user, not because I absorbed it out of thin air, but because I took the time to research it on my own.

You already have the reasons and necessary information but you persist in asking the same questions.
The Secretary of Energy does not make contracts or build refineries. As Coram and I have stated, there has to be a match between the oil being refined and the refinery. Changing a refinery structure or building new refineries is very expensive and companies have to balance that expense with import costs.

All i hear is excuses and need to be right at the expense of the truth.

Optics are important.
Stealth bombers silent?
Re_read Mueller re: 'designed to' drops.
Probe conclusion coming?

Coincidence 'conclusion' occurring as new AG installed?
What is the purpose of WHITAKER?
Re_read drops re: 'Scaramucci' model.
Purpose?
Who did Scaramucci remove?
Effective?
Optics important?
What occurs post installed 'BLOCKADE' removal?
DECLAS?
[RR] 'complete' removal?
OIG release of findings?
How are they preparing to combat [narrative = vital]?
House intel launch of more 'FAKE' investigations in attempt to retain 'FALSE NARRATIVE' and claim 'POLITICAL ATTACK(S)' if investigated/prosecuted themselves?
[AS]?
[SDNY-AG]?
Attempts to retain 'BLOCKADE'?
Attempts to prevent public release of the TRUTH?
ZERO leaks re: HUBER?
ZERO.
Do not mistake 'public' silence for inaction.

What you call truth is merely your opinion and what you call excuses have a basis in reality. Why don't you make your case with something more than your personal opinion? EIA should give you more than enough information to provide a basis for your arguments. www.eia.gov...
For example, show what refineries can feed Texas/Bakken oil and the effect on the price of fuels of having one or more down for modifications to change from heavy crude to Bakken. Show how existing refineries can produce product slates in proportion to demand with the various types of feedstocks.
You will find this to be much more complex than you assumed it to be.
