On the other hand, Mossad took out a pair of Iranian intelligence officials.

Once again, WINNING!

I don't know Renegade Quark.....sorry.

Not really. The refineries along the Gulf Coast were built for foreign ultra heavy grades. Other infrastructure makes it more economical to import oil than produce domestically. At least in some parts of the country.

All that would change quickly if WTI went to $150 a barrel and stayed there for six months.
