Who are these ignorant mealy mouth cowards that buckle under and allow these entities like OPEC hold a hammer like threatening to cut back production over our heads and raising oil prices?  Why are they running scared?  Are they so dumb as not to do their research and know that the U.S. has enough accessible reserves to supply this country for enough time until an alternative energy source can be developed, or are they just using it as an excuse to raise prices and put more money in their pockets?  Everyone should read the U.S.G.S. report on the Bakken Formation published in April of this year and look at the accompanying maps of accessible reserves in this country. Then tell OPEC to go ahead and lower production and we will lower demand even further to the point or requiring none from you at all and, not supply you or any country that does business with you with any of it’s by-products.  We really don’t need your oil.   There is enough, stop crying Wolf.
