We may control the consumption of oil, but we don’t control the supply. OPEC and a few dictators do..and you need to face those facts. The only solution is more domestic and foreign supply.
Brazil is hot right now because they got off their ass and drilled. Their stock is going up..and ours down.
Berating the oil company execs is not going to drive down the price of oil.

BS, the big oil companies control the majority of the drilling contracts and speculators. To claim they are blameless is utter garbage, they admit as much when they say they are doing what’s in the best interests of their stockholders.

We need to start drilling all of our oil deposits. The price of foreign oil would drop like a rock.

And we could still tell them to shove it while we happily drill our own oil.
