I don't know what ODS is and don't care.
With refined petroleum products already being America's largest export in dollar volume maybe that industry should respond by increasing its capacity. It doesn't suffer from government restrictions that have provided a small measure of energy independence. After all, refined product profits don't depend upon the price of crude, only the crack spread.
Then again I continue to have a hard time understanding how cheap energy can bring our economy to its knees. Also a hard time understanding how flooding an already flooded world oil market will accomplish anything.
The oil industry has throughout its history undergone nothing but boom and bust cycles. If you want that history pick up Daniel Yergen's Pulitzer winning "The Prize" and read it. This is just another one of those cases.
I would also suggest that 6 years ago we were told POTUS was shutting down the American oil industry and nationalizing the American automotive industry. Many have long tired of hearing the continuing litany of unfounded, failed and otherwise completely erroneous accusations against the President over these many years. Others delight in the cheap thrills it provides. It is well past time people reading that nonsense discover how the exercise of critical thinking skills can broaden one's world view. The trigger for the need of such thinking skills can easily be recognized.
Now let's bring some more crude oil down from Canada. It might be more expensive to mine, transport and refine but nothing works better to beat obesity than another big dinner and desert.
