LOL, I've probably posted more "survivalist" blather and have more wheat berries in the basement than anyone here but posting facts about oil production makes me a cornie.

pstarr....apparently you can't read...what I said was you have nothing to offer but insults and personal attacks.

The insults I dole out are what my lawyer friends would refer to as "fair comment" and they always are accompanied with the rationale behind those claims and usually with actual data and a discussion of why the individual has said something I deem to come from someone "dumb as a donkey's willy".

You on the other hand simply show up, offer absolutely nothing but lame random insults and seem to be pleased with that. It isn't clever.

If you think anyone here is impressed with that behavior then you are truly competing for the slowest kid in the class award. Lets save you some time...you won that award hands down years ago.

If you actually want to argue that the EIA data on petroleum imports and exports are wrong then you need to reference them and say why they need to be corrected. Pop's original post was about the EIA data showing that the US was a net exporter at some point backed up by EIA data. If you don't believe the EIA data then you need to show everyone where the real data is (hint: it doesn't exist as most places reference the same dataset). Otherwise your drama queen posturing is pretty pointless, especially since you have so little credibility here.

In other words grow up.

As pointed out before all the focus on oil production/import/export with respect to the US consumer seems strange and misguided. The US consumer does not produce/export/import oil and, most important, does not CONSUME oil. The life of US consumers is dominated by the production/import/export of products refined from oil. Mixing oil stats in with refinery stats seems to only confuse the conversation...at least with the world of US consumers.

For instance, has anyone bothered to find a chart showing the history of refinery product consumption by the US? Or a chart of US refinery product imports? Or a chart of US refinery product exports? Let's just say historical charts since the end of WWII. That would seem to provide a good base for any debate about the relationship between US consumers and oil.

A question: what does that "Weekly Net Chart" really show: is it just netting oil? Or is it netting the oil refined in the US whose products are exported? Is it possible refinery products are being double counted? Remember as US oil production increased and oil imports decreased the country transitioned from being an insignificant product exporter to the largest refinery product exporter on the planet. So what is that chart really implying?

OTOH if one wants to discuss the impact of US oil production/imports/exports on our petroleum industry that would be another interesting discussion. But very different then one discussing US consumers IMHO.
