If OPEC has a treaty to supply us and violates it, we should attack. Frankly, we need to drill for our own oil.

These are all radical ideas. If OPEC hypothetically decides to stop oil exports to the U.S. we would be just fine because we have enough oil in the oil reserves to last us for the next 100 years. We could stop exporting oil to other countries and feed our own face, but our economy would struggle. The fact is that OPEC will not stop selling oil to us because they need our money to buy the big expensive cars to drive in the desert.

Read on! The problem is that most people do not understand supply and demand economics and what the structure is of the cost of gas per gallon. Do you know that we are using more oil now than EVER before! People are driving at an alarming rate. Do you realize how much petroleum’s used in making plastics and then how many things we use are made of plastics? The oil company makes about 9 cents a gallon as profit. The rest is made up of Federal and State taxes, the cost of exploration and production, Refining and then the cost of the additives that we have to put in the gas (we call it designer gas, thanks to the environmentalist wacko's). Do you know that we have not built a refinery in almost 40 years? (thanks again environmentalist). The refineries that we have are working at capacity and that is not enough to keep up with demand. Do you know that we hardly get any oil from the Middle East? Most people think that is where it all comes from. Not true. We get our oil form Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Africa, in that order. What we get from Saudi is a very small %. You want the cost of gas to drop....STOP driving, open up the ANWR for drilling and off our coasts (thanks again environmentalist) OR come up with an alternate fuel.

You have a very good question, China and India could easily support OPEC since they can afford cars and have billions of people to buy gas. The U.S should drill for oil anywhere we find it and continue to explore for more oil.

Well, it won't.
