I never actually said saving our domestic oil was a political maneuver. In the global oil economy, the people sitting on deep reserves tend to have more bargaining power. The only reason Saudi Arabia isn't a glass hellscape is because sand and dirt is easier to dig through than glass. That being said, as those wells dry up, the world is going to move to the next country to suck dry. And on and on and on. Eventually as a country, from and economic standpoint, it makes sense to have the fattest reserves in the ground so you can set the prices and make the fattest profits.

Even with the world pushing towards renewables, we'll be on the teet of fossil fuels for the foreseeable future given the logistics in switching over the power grids of established nations. Until green can be achieved globally, you don't sell off your bargaining chips until you can get maximum returns.

I'm terrible at explaining my thoughts; too many chair shots as a kid I suppose. Sorry if that all seems like the ravings of a lunatic.

Yeah I think we're both realizing we're on the same page afterall.  lol
