***if american soil has oil (like in TEXAS) why import it from abroad? ***
Yes, it is very expensive to import oil.
However it makes more sense to use up most
or all of their resources first.
When the importable resources run out, then that would the right time to tap into your own.
That's real world conservation at work.
Have a pleasant day.

Look at $800 billion US trade deficit. US economy is gradually becoming totally dependent on foriegn resources. There's no more free Black or Latino labor to dig the oil out.

I strongly agree. Unfortunately, the answer is that the environmentalist wackos have used the courts and legislatures to prohibit any additional drilling in the U.S. Now look what a pickle we're in.

Could it be that US is conserving our own resources and using other's?
If we use every last barrel of our own, what might the consequences be?
Think about it.

Because we will use up all of theirs first, then we will still have all of ours !!
I know it sounds stupid, but that might just be the correct answer.
