re: U.S. Oil Exports Hit Record High

Ironically a majority of our refineries are setup to use heavy crude oil to refine into products including gasoline.
What we are exporting is normally lighter crudes that won’t work with the majority of refineries.
That coupled with the fact that no new refineries have been built in 70 years to handle our lighter crudes leads to it being exported to other countries who can run that crude.
That’s why we still import heavy crude from Venezuela, Canada, etc.

This is what no one wants to talk about, specifically the refining issue we have in this country. It does us no good to drill for oil if we can’t refine it. And our outdated refineries cannot process the oil we are pumping today. Until we start building modern refineries, we’ll still be reliant on foreign oil.
Drilling is great and necessary. But without modern refineries to process it it does us no good.
