Chevron, Exxon Should Focus on International Production

Nicely put. In California, where I am, all one needs to say to cause screeching and flailing is "Drill for oil off the coast." And, of course, at the same time, we pay the highest gasoline costs in the country. A hallmark of our idiotic age is the mental disconnect between cause-and-effect, and a childlike addiction to magical thinking. Don't bother me with details, it's someone else like Big Oil that's causing all my problems, or maybe it's just The Rich? We Americans refuse many things, including being sensible about energy usage and production, and perhaps this time we will not escape the piper who waits to be paid.
