U.S. oil is only one dollar higher per barrel?
The Marshall plan?
OPEC?
An idiot calls me ignorant, of what?
OPEC came into being when Zaki Yamani was oil minister.. in the mid 1960s. Did you know him?
Before that the US used petroleum from Ghawar to fuel the Marshall Plan because it was cheap.
Domestic oil is more expensive and margins are small because we have the highest production costs in the world. US oil companies do a very good job.
