There's a problem with "drill, baby, drill!"... The type of oil, that PRESENTLY comes out of the ground, here inside the borders of the USA, is different from the type of oil that came out of the ground when oil drilling first began (within the USA.) Our domestic oil refineries were designed for the type of oil that originally came out of the ground. This is why the USA imports oil... our domestic refineries ARE APPROPRIATE for foreign oil. In order to use the oil that presently comes out of the ground, new domestic oil refineries would have to be built. To do this will cost money. After Trump is elected, will the federal government invest money into the construction of new (appropriate) domestic oil refineries?

Please explain this... Back during the first half of the 1980s, the price of diesel was always much lower than the price of gasoline (...by anywhere from 30 to 40 cents, per gallon.) At that time, diesel was looked upon as an alternative fuel, and the DIESEL POWERED Volkswagen Rabbit was a very popular car. Also, farm tractors were mostly diesels, because, per gallon (and owing to the high compression ratio of diesel engines), diesel produces much more power than gasoline. Since farming is historically a low profit-margin business (where smaller family farms are concerned), diesel powered tractors make a lot of sense. So my question is... Since the 1980s, why did diesel, per gallon, become much more expensive than gasoline? My guess is that the price of diesel was deliberately manipulated, for 25 years, across the entire energy industry. Somebody should do a "deep dive" investigation into this matter.

@Wolfcamp555 I'm thinking, in order to do MAGA (make America great again), one of our first "moves" should be MDCA (make Diesel cheap again.) If the EPA is responsible for Diesel becoming unnecessarily expensive across the last 25 years, then Trump (when elected) should straighten out the EPA.
