First Crude Oil Shipment Exports From U.S. After 40 Year Ban Lifted
2016-01-04
[Daily Caller] The first crude oil shipment exported from the United States, after a 40 year ban, left from Corpus Christi, Texas last Thursday.

NuStar Energy and ConocoPhillips loaded a vessel with light crude oil pumped from the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas at NuStar's North Beach Terminal at Port Corpus Christi. The crude is to be sold to the international trading company Vitol.

#4  Nope, neither is the strategic grain reserve, but we keep selling to foreigners. I say keep the grain, keep the oil, keep the guns, do away with the FED and prepare for a Pincer Action on Columbus.
