Our current Energy Secretary. I 100% agree with the bipartisan editorial that follows and most Economists at least the ones that taught me at the University of Wisconsin would totally disagree with her Characterization of OPEC as a Cartel that controls Oil Prices. They have attempted to control prices with limited success but over their history have really never been able too. The recent resurgent visibility of OPEC and Russia over markets (they do not control the price) has to do more with Biden cutting back United States production of Oil and making us dependent once again on Oil imports.

LOL!! WE EXPRT 40% OF OUR DOMESTIC OIL! You honestly think the domestic Oil Barons like the Kochs want to see us americans finally get a fair shake?? I have a bridge if you do. Hope you like those high pump prices that this causes.

Do you have a source for your assertion that we export 40% of the oil we produce? Your comment is a simplistic answer to a complex situation. Yes we export oil because of the cost of shipping to refineries. One of our export markets is Canada, we also import oil from Canada,why? Because cost of shipping . Canada has refineries closer to US production and our natural gas is cheaper then world market prices so Canada exports to better price markets and buys cheaper us natural gas. Us exports petroleum to Canada’s Easter seabird where most of Canada’s refining capacity is located. In 2020 the US exported more than it imported. What year is your data from?

Thats fine I only post for discussion. It does not bother me if I am challenged though I have trouble following SFC Hellenbrands posts which seem to just be political and not based on the topic at all.
