I suspect the Saudis are crapping themselves over the enormous amount of natural gas coming available in this country. If we ever start using it for vehicles the entire Middle East is in for an economic shock. Just as Keystone will put the screws to Venezuela, so can natural gas sock it to the big oil producers including Russia if, and this a big if, Congress gets their collective head out of their ass.
At this point we have the ability to destroy OPEC.
Won’t happen so long as Obamalamadingdong remains in office.
Saudi Arabia is essentially Chad with oil.
