    Agreed, I think it is ridiculous that we have a wealth of natural resources, and yet have to buy back finished products at inflated prices. This appears to be the right choice from both a sovereignty and environmental perspective

      This is because Alberduh has boom bust cycles. When they boom they keep all the money into a few hands, and when they bust, we pump $25B a year into a tar pit. But at no point does anyone think about long term infrastructure, just pump the sludge to Texas or China and buy it back.
