If pricing is based on supply and demand why wouldn't it be cheaper if supply was increased? I'm no economics major so I'm honestly asking, not questioning rhetorically.Going off on a major tangent here... but just because we can make it ourselves doesn't mean it's going to be any cheaper. (Evidence any other manufacturing sector) And the refining costs of crude pumped from different regions of the world vary by quite a lot.
Even if we take the price of gas out of the equation, think of the hundreds of thousands of jobs that would be created by utilizing on-shore production. Surely, that would help stabilize the economy to some degree.
