Where did you see that the US is now a net oil exporter?  The attachments below 
are 2008 and 2009, but I suspect the picture hasn't changed much since then (US 
imports 75% of its oil for consumption). I believe I saw reference to 
"potential exporter" in the NY Times article.

  Subject: [FRIAM] A Good Question - Should the United States join OPEC?


  Now for something completely different:
    
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/26/opinion/sunday/friedman-a-good-question.html

  Basically whether or not the US should join OPEC now that it is a net oil 
exporter.  


  Insane as it sounds, there is some reason in the discussion.
