John Shimkus, R-Ill., noted that the political stakes are high for lawmakers who could face recriminations from voters if they support lifting the ban and gasoline prices later climb for unrelated reasons.</em></p> <p><em>“It’s very hard for politicians without a five-second soundbite to examine the macro and micro economic issues,” Shimkus said. “It’s probably why we’re not going as fast on this as we’re doing with LNG (exports), which is an easier argument.” <a title="Crude Exports in Spotlight" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150312103801/http://fuelfix.com/blog/2015/03/03/crude-exports-in-spotlight-as-house-leaders-urge-slow-approach/" target="_blank">Read more…</a></em></p> <p><strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150312103801/http://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-tanker.jpg" rel="lightbox-1"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5682" style="border: 0px none; margin: 5px 10px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150312103801im_/http://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/oil-tanker-300x168.jpg" alt="Oil Tanker" width="300" height="168"/></a>Lift the ban on U.S. oil exports? – OrlandoSentinel.com</strong><br/> <em>In 1973, Middle East oil suppliers declared an embargo on sales to the U.S., creating a spike in gasoline prices and backups at the pump.
