I am much more interested in Arab Opec oil, and would hope that the combination of US, Mexican, Brazilian, Venezuelan and Canadian oil would bust wide open OPEC cartel.
Also, I want us off Arab oil, so the terrorists have no beef with the USA since we won’t need to use troops to keep open access to Arab oil.
How many Americans have to die and be wounded for people who hate us enough to call us the great Satan, and send terrorists half way around the world to kill us.
Plus, for as long as OPEC has been around we have been paying Mafia type prices for our oil
I think we’re heading nicely in the direction you describe (despite the efforts of the regime to prevent it).
Of course the Chinese are picking up any slack oil availability.
It may be fun to watch the Chicom / Arab dynamic down the road.
The Keystone XL pipeline would do more to displace the heavies we get from Saudi and the like.
That said, those imports have dropped some as well, just not as much as the light, sweet.
