We don't, but it's the path with diminishing resistance as the price of oil drops further.

  We don't have to go along with this plan. We could raise taxes on oil and drive SA into the ground. The world would be a better place without oil being part of our energy production.

    This would also raise prices on gas and petroleum products (such as lubricants, cosmetics, plastics) on Americans which probably isn't a good idea given the current state of affairs for the low and middle classes.

      So give poor Americans more money. Then they can choose whether to use that on petrol or not.
