needs every drop of the petroleum it extracts, but could sending oil overseas force dpas prices to skyrocketse reliance on foreign sources, and joining me now is max smith, commodity analyst for snyder electric. thanks for coming on the show. the number one question the audience is wondering is if as we continue to produce more and more oil, if we continue to close borders and not grant permits to sell outside the u.s., does that drive prices lower here? >> no, it would not. as we've spoken before with retail gasoline prices, they are not dictated by domestic fundament tailings, but the global price of oil. when oil is at 110 bucks, that's why gasoline prices here up around the four bucks a gallop mark, and that's why we see demand, you know, stagnating, basically, because of energy efficiencies, because of less people driving, high unemployment as such, but, still, driven by a global price, not domestic stuff. >> would that still be the case? the agency says in 2030 we'll become a net oil exporter. if we close the borders, kept the oil inside the united states, we'd have more supply; right?
