This is all orchestrated. The Saudis are sitting on a lake of oil and are the puppetmasters when it comes to releasing that oil for consumption. When America started booming with oil from shale deposits, the Saudis were not going to sit idly by as America became energy independent, so they opened the spigots so that worldwide money went to them instead of us. That put American workers out of business, because the Saudis pulled it out of the ground cheaper and had more of it.
Obama vetoed Keystone, because he knew that it would increase our ability to fend for ourselves on the world stage. That also gives the Saudis additional greenbacks. Couple that with the push for “green” in America with everything from automobiles to yo-yos, and petroleum is less in demand, thus leaving scads of it on the world market just waiting to be consumed.
This is all a ruse. The fix is in. Most Americans are too stupid to understand what’s happening, but give it time, and we’ll all be wondering what happened. Gas will be cheap, but food will be hard to find.
Maybe we should bomb their oilfields
Petroleum is used for far more than just vehicles. Cheaper petroleum should benefit many, many industries. Industries that should be cheering cheap oil: automotive, aviation, trucking, plastics, detergents, heating oil, synthetic rubber (tires), synthetic fibers (clothing), fertilizers, food additives, cosmetics, medicine, etc. Yes. Some Americans will lose jobs over this, but cheap energy should literally fuel a stronger economy.
