That's not it, they have to have refineries to keep up with the 'new' oil and everything else that goes with it. So, we'll be looking at, at least five to ten years at the most to see prices leveling off even if, IF, they had a chance to drill in Alaska, the gulf, etc.

We're at a stalemate for at least five years no matter who gets in.
