much alaskan oil was shipped to the west coast. an analysis found that lifting the oil ban tripled the already existing price difference between west coast and natural gasoline prices. -- national gasoline prices. when alaskan oil exports cease, the gasoline price differential between the west coast and the national average did decline. lifting the nationwide crude oil export ban could raise gasoline prices. lifting export ban could add $10 billion a year to consumers fuel bills. without the ban, oil companies could sell their oil at the higher world market price -- the foreign domestic price spread for oil was $10 a barrel. domestic production has significantly grown over the past five years, the energy information administration projects crude oil production will peak in 2019 and begin a steady decline after that. this energy abundance could be a temporary phenomenon. they also predict that in 2014, the u.s. will consume 5 million barrels per day more of oil and liquids than we produce. this gap between demand and supply to conti

that would bring 360,000 barrels of crude per day to the west coast. that would change the pricing paradigm, if you will, for crude pricing on the west coast, further backing out imports, and probably allowing it to go up to down to themaybe california refineries that we have. that is not insignificant. that is pretty game changing, if that were to happen, so the industry, our industry, is moving aggressively to do what is necessary to take advantage of the production that is going on in this country, to take .dvantage of the revolution i think it was curious, yesterday, a secretary said that we should favor pipelines over railroads. i read that yesterday and kind of shook my head. first, i was pretty curious about this administration being talking favorably about pipelines, given the rumors right now, but i think that is the wrong approach. i think we need to be talking about all of the above, as was said in other comments. theo the question around president's recent comments earlier this week with regards to tax credits, and just to follow on real qu
