We don't have to get oil domestically. Other countries are more than happy to decimate their local environments to sell oil to the US at below market rates.

I'm sure this makes me an asshole, but given the choice between making regions of Saudi Arabia or the USA unlivable, I'd take Arabia any day.

I don’t get any of this comment. Oil is the king of being sold at market rates, and if we aren’t producing any market rates skyrocket. Also doesn’t matter where oil is burned, it still becomes CO2 and other greenhouse gasses if we don’t leave it in the ground.
