Fred brings up an interesting point : The official story has been that
the oil found in the US is high-sulfur and it would cost so much to
remove the sulfur that it's more economical to sell it to countries that
don't worry about smog (like Mexico and the Far East), and buy
low-sulfur, 'sweet' oil on the world market.
Any petroleum engineers out there with a response to this ?
