"If America produces more oil than anyone, why is gas four dollars?" Great question. Allow me to ruin the comforting idea that "the oil industry" is one big thing that could simply decide to give you cheaper gas if it wanted to. What most people don't know is that "the oil industry" is in fact three completely different businesses between the ground and your gas tank: 1) The drilling company pulls crude oil out of the earth. 2) The refinery, which is a DIFFERENT company, buys that crude from the driller and cooks it into gasoline. 3) The gas station buys that gasoline from the refinery and sells it to you. Three separate businesses, three markups. Each one passing the cost to the next guy in line. When global oil prices spike, the driller charges more because crude always trades at *global* prices. The refinery then has to pay more for that crude. The gas station pays more for that gasoline. You pay more at the pump. That is the chain, and you are at the end of it. Now, there's a silver lining to this. That chain is also pouring money into the American economy at a scale that is hard to overstate. Eleven million jobs. Not just roughnecks. Truck drivers, welders, engineers, port workers, accountants, you name it. We're talking about Two trillion dollars in GDP, which is roughly 8% of the entire American economy. Five hundred and seventy billion in taxes in a single year. That goes to schools, hospitals, roads, fire departments and more. And every barrel sold to Japan or Germany or South Korea is a barrel that USED to be sold by Saudi Arabia or Russia or Iran. That money used to leave America. Now it comes in. Four dollars a gallon hurts. But the money is not vanishing into the atmosphere. It is cycling through American towns, American jobs, and American tax revenue. And the countries buying American crude now depend on Washington, not Moscow and much less Tehran. American oil is no longer just a product. It has become a bond between countries. The pain is real, but will be temporary.
