Canada and the US ramping up oil production is /exactly/ what is needed right now and there is absolutely nothing stopping them from doing it, but they're not. Record profits, very little capital expenditures and massive payouts to their shareholders as dividends and large stock buybacks. Tell me, when an oil company realizes it can sell 1 barrel of oil for $80 dollars from an existing well by limiting supply, absolutely what reason do they have for ramping up production to sell 2 barrels of oil for $40 each? You troll and troll and troll, but never have anything of substance to add, beyond stating the obvious; we need more oil! Well fucking duh.
