We should boost our domestic oil production. But look at, that is a false solution. I mean, it helps in a very, very short run because OPEC has said that if we boost our production, they will cut theirs. I mean, they, they have the monopoly worldwide. You cannot balance it out. You can never produce enough at home to offset what they're doing to us internationally. (14:29–14:38)
