Oil Companies that don't buy foreign oil Joe or Max if you think this shouldn't be on a Mudcat thread you have my permission to delete,but these are facts. Louie Roy |

We have a Conoco, a Texaco, and a generic Truck Stop besides all the convience store. No Phillips, (and I KNOW they used to buy overseas oil!)no Exxon, no Standard, no Amoco....... |

I beleive that the technology is ready, it's a matter of pressure from the people. Un abrazo - Andrés |
