The $90+ per barrel price for oil is in large part dictated by the OPEC cartel. Domestic oil produced in the US by US companies isn’t subject to OPEC price fixing as price fixing cartels are illegal in the US under anti-trust laws. Would it make more sense to increase the domestic production of oil, give Americans the jobs and tell OPEC to stick their price rather than curtail domestic production and depend more and more on imported oil and OPEC price fixing?
Not as much as you'd think. The majority of our imported oil comes from Mexico, Canada, and Russia. I'll try and find the reference and post it.
