  1. You left out about *&$# &^%$ and *$@@# friggin crap bombing the price of oil. sending an entire ESSENTIAL industry to a grinding halt.Turn off oil wells and they die. Can’t drill new ones. The people that did aren’t there anymore. So the price of oil will go way up, while American production capabilities are depleted. Back to buying massive amounts of foreign oil.
    the largest refinery in the US is in Port Author TX and is owned by the Saudis and fed imported Saudi oil. And sold to WE THE PEOPLE that fill our tanks.
