Sounds like the speculators are blowing smoke up our butts again...

Second of course the oil filling the tanks in Texas to capacity can't be shipped to the refineries back East. I mean oil tank rail cars don't exist, right?
Railroads don't run from Texas to NJ, right?
An oil tanker certainly can't sail from Galveston to Newark...

I guess that puts an end to the DRILL HERE DRILL NOW crowd. Even if we drilled, we could not refine the oil we got out of the ground...

Yep, I bet the oil companies start posting some very nice profits as the 1st quarter comes to a close...
