IMHO a major factor for OPEC's power in the 1970's was the then newly created EPA making drilling for oil harder to do here. The left who say they hate Nixon seem to love the EPA Nixon created. Carter's version of the EPA made oil drilling harder to do in the U.S. When you depend on other countries for oil, they get to set the price.

Carter wasn't a failure. He was successful in his mission.

Yes, Nixon’s swamp creation, the EPA and Carter’s anti-energy here in the US were big players as well. Sometime when your really bored, investigate the EPA, Air Quality, and it’s effect on Global Warming......
