OPEC wants oil at $100 per barrel - period! The only way to fight this is to drill domestically.

You don’t think it will cost a $100 a barrel here? How do you think it got to $100 in the first place?

Supply and Demand. The world energy demand is growing and the reality is that OPEC can't keep up. SA hasn't developed new fields and increasing drilling in existing fields could cause them to go dry.

So the question you have to ask is do you want third world despot controlling oil or do you want Exxon?

Arabs, and their sympathizers, on their camels, with wireless laptops, trading up the price of crude.
