Exporting our stuff
I'd wondered why gas $ was so high up here, being as we're nearer to the Alaskan pipeline.
Informed by a local that it's because the US ships off a substantial amount of that oil to... Japan!
There are some oil wells in Colorado that the powers-that-be keep closed off for whatever reasons they have.
We ship alot of our NW lumber to Japan, too.
Not anti-Japan, I'm just sayin' we've some resources, but they're being hoarded or sent elsewhere.
