I think anyone who thinks this through realizes "cheap" imported oil is not the problem.
It actually starts closer to home: US government subsidies/support for intermittent, unreliable, expensive, inefficient, wasteful, bird-killing wind and solar energy, which requires back-up fossil fuel.
The problem extends to keystoning new pipelines and hysteria over CBR. The problem extends to the war on coal which under the next administration could expand to the war on fracking.
The problem extends to CAVE dwellers.

First glance at iPhone maker's retail revamp. This is something worth checking out. I haven't looked at the story yet.

It will be interesting to see if the article says anthing the Apple employee said. [The article was worthless; the comments are much more helpful.]
