Build 5 refineries in Mexico.

And if Fox says, "accept 20million more invader labor or we stop sending gas," then what? I thought we were trying to reduce price and dependence on foreign energy.
(edit to replace oil with a refined product)

Foreign dependance on fuel is just a feel good statement. It holds no water, or in this case, oil. We will always be dependent upon foreign sources for oil as long as we bow to pressure by eviromentalists, and their wacky, and distorted views on the global health.
Alaska has a massive reserve of oil, more than enough to allow us to build mass quantities Ethanol fueled vehicles that will bring them down to a reasonable cost. E85 doesnt do anyone any good if the vehicles are 1 to 10,000 ratio of ethanol to gasoline/diesel. It doesnt help if the vehicle costs more than a gas powered vehicle. It also doesnt help if you cant go down to your local gas station and get some.
Drill Alaska, and along with whats still yanked out of the ground in Texas, and other states, and
stop exporting oil(yes we actually export oil, thanks to Clinton). Refine all US produced oil in the US, and that will limit what we intake. Allow Mexico to refine all of the oil we need, and let them sell the rest.
Building, maintaining, staffing, and guarding refineries, railroad trackage, and pipelines, will give plenty of good paying jobs to Mezcans, and it keeps them in their contry. Not only will they be able to refine their own oil, but a significant amount of foreign oil. Mexico can then sell their surplus of their gas and oil, and that of other countries, purchased by them. It will make Mexico a better place to live. Look at what is happening at the Intermodal ports on Mexico's Pacific coast. The quality of life has been boosted significantly.
