Any mention of OPEC Arabs taking it in the shorts (if they wear any) is always a good thing. For too long, the US had made itself a lackey of OPEC, when we have had a good lot of the stuff right here, at home.
Can you imagine what would have been, if nutless Jimmah Cahtuh had told OPEC to fly a kite, instead of having the country suffer as it did?
I guess most people aren’t old enough to remember the gas rationing, lines, odd and even days, sweaters and turning the thermostats down.
Iranian hostages, 13% inflation, Peak oil, population bomb, and all the other Malthusian BS. Oh, and Disco. Yeah the 70’s sucked.
