And when the price of gasoline goes to $25.00 per gallon, will you remember your words?
By the way, we had a golf course where we lived. It was all sand and we carried a square-foot piece of green astro-truf to hit off of each shot. A small amount of oil was put on the sand to keep it from blowing away.
The "green" was a MUCH darker sand, with a lot more petroleum on it to keep it down. We had to KNOCK THE TAR our of the ball to make the putt.
After each foursome finished a Pakistani guy would come off his spot in the shade of a small roof with a HUGE broom and "sweep" the greens to make them smooth.
My husband was an avid golfer. His normal handicap was 8-10 or so. But over there, on camp, with the FREE little driving range and nine-hole golf course, he got down to SCRATCH golf. Wow.
Our company would hold tournaments all the time: women's, men's handicap and men's scratch. At the quarterly golf club dinners awards were given out: CRYSTAL.
I LOVED it as I watched the bright RED crystal boxes stack up in front of me, THANKS to my "scratch" golfer hubby.
We are stuck with the Saudis because WE are their BIGGEST CUSTOMER. When their petroleum and natural gas run out...then we will use our own resources.
We play it right: USE UP OTHERS' RESOURCES FIRST, then use our own.
“We are stuck with the Saudis because WE are their BIGGEST CUSTOMER”
You missed my point. If the backstabbing, al Qaeda supporting, pedophiles who make up the “royal” family are all dead and US corporations are controlling the oil fields we won’t have to worry about $25 a gallon gas, now will we.
Nuke Riyadh. Hunt the “royals” down like the filthy, rabid, 6th century savages they are. If anyone so much as looks cross eyed at us, nuke them too. I don’t care if that’s Luxembourg.
The time for treating these islamic savages as if they were human beings is over.
I’m sooooo glad you’re old man could work on his golf game, tho.

I think that changed this year.
Saudi Arabia exported an average of 1.5 million bbl/d of total petroleum liquids to the United States in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 0.4 million bbl/d from the first quarter of 2013. Since 2012, Saudi Arabia has been the second-largest petroleum exporter annually, after Canada, to the United States. In 2013, after the United States, the next four top importers of Saudi crude and petroleum products according to GTIS were Japan (1.2 million bbl/d), China (1.1 million bbl/d), South Korea (0.9 million bbl/d), and India (0.8 million bbl/d).

Since the above was written, imports from Saudi have dropped to 1.0 million bbl/d
