They already do. Lots of it. Millions of barrels per year. They sell it
all to Japan. If we want to use it, we have to buy it back from Japan or
the commodities market. They being those oil companies who have extraction
rights that include no strings attached as to who gets it. Alaska gasoline
is very expensive easily double what we pay now. Why do you suppose that
is? More drilling makes Exxon richer but does nothing to lower our national
debt. You seem to think we have nationalized oil companies when in fact
they are multi-national corporations. They are not even American companies,
they just incorporate here.
