You mean as opposed to oil that comes from an oppressive dictatorship that does not have a clue as to what a basic human right is and has absolutely zero environmental standards?

Do you really believe that Saudi Arabia and Iran are as concerned about the environment as we are here?

Even if it meant an additional $5 per barrel we would keep jobs and money domestically as opposed to sending them to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran or a host of other places that are not exactly friendly to us.

May I suggest you pick up a copy of "Ethical Oil" by Ezra Levant? or you can go to the ethical oil website for more information.
