Donatelo Champion Author Dayton Posts:1,121 Points:292,685 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Dec 24, 2012 12:56:42 PM Ignore Donatelo Report Abuse if we kept all the oil we drill here instead of sending it overseas, and use our huge natural gas reserves, we could be energy independent. we built an alaska pipeline only to send all that oil out to the open market. energy independence is not going to happen. already they are talking about exporting our natural gas reserves, this is really madness at it's best. we should all get a piece of the profits if this happens, but it will go in the pockets of fatcats who do not care about America but only lining their pockets using our natural resources. God help us, please.
