Good article. I had no idea about the "dark areas" trading crude and how we are simply not involved in it, haha, which just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
I will say, it is very clear to me at least that our refineries couldn't handle an increase in oil. They can barely handle what we are producing now. Not saying it wouldn't help...it would absolutely drive the price down. We just don't have the refineries to do it....haven't built one since the 1950s I believe.
I agree about the first point as well.
