Middle East chaos historically causes gas prices to rise. Often an excuse to gouge or cause shortages

Yes, fear of disruptions in the Middle East oil flow will cause a hike in prices to be sure. We don't know how deep the impact would be, this is a different day. The U.S. is no longer dependent on imported oil. We are now exporting. Many of our nations older oil dependent power plants have been retro-fitted to burn natural gas...which we have flowing out our ears.
