You might want to re-check your facts, we are exporting far far more than 1/3 of one refiner's production daily.
Unless you can point me to a refinery capable of doing 10 million barrels a day, in which case I apologize.
People do need to get more diligent though, because as we speak the big oil lobby is pressuring Congress to change the laws on exporting more natural gas (through liquifying it). That way we can see the price rise a good bit here at home and throw away the savings Americans have seen on their energy/heating bills the past few years.
Lower gas and energy prices would spark an economic boom in this country because the rest of the world can't compete with our resources. Instead we are negating the positive effects of the boom by exporting away what would be lower prices.
