Im doing a research paper on Crude Oil and Gas Prices. Please help any good answers on the subject. Besides Saudi Arabia where does America Puchase its Crude Oil?

I heard that when we went off the gold standard we tied the value of dollar to oil because we found a ton of oil up in Alaska. Instead of drilling up there we made a deal to buy foreign oil and tie our dollar to oil. We are keeping the oil off the [...]

Would it be better to see Exxon’s profits go through the roof or send that money to Saudi Arabia and Iran?

The U.S. is not the only country with oil in the ground. To lower gas prices why is it so important that we allow more U.S. drilling? What about Canada? I know we don’t want more oil from the Middle East, but would those who want more drilling be happy with oil [...]

Just this week the oil companies got the oil fields in Iraq ‘given’ to them. No price drop!
Saudi Arabia will boost production. No price drop!
Demand is way down in the US. No price drop!
Oil companies hold millions of acres of drilling leases right now, but refuse to drill in those sites. No price drop!
