He wants to conserve. Jimmy Carter and John McCain need to put on their sweaters.
And then there's this:
"A little over a year ago, a suicide attack at a major Saudi Arabian oil refinery came close to disabling its target. Had it succeeded, it would have driven the world price of oil above $150 dollars a barrel -and kept it there for a year."
Moron.
If a refinery is knocked offline, it raises the price of gasoline and other refined products, but it lowers the price of oil because one majory buyer of crude no longer can use it. It causes a glut of oil, and a shortage of the refined product.
Thanks for playing, John, but you're not the solution to the energy problem.
If you read the opening chapter of Robert Baer’s book about Saudi Arabia, there is a scenario described in which a terrorist blows up the Saudi oil facilities at Abquaic. Due to the plumbing and geography of how the Saudi oil industry is set up, the attack cripples the whole ability of the country to export oil. I am guessing that that was what McCain was referring to.
LOL!
