You may be right about these two wanting Trump to be President ... but Russia and Saudi Arabia are manipulating oil prices to benefit themselves first ... and trust me, they donate heavily to both candidates ... they have both men by the balls ... why we need to elect a female President ...
However, you are wrong about curtailing production ... yes, that does drive up prices, but it makes renewables all that more economical ... OPEC learned that the hard way ... during the embargoes in the 1970's, the USA quickly started to develop alternatives to foreign crude oil ... and Ronald Reagan campaigned in 1980 on the "Domestic Coal" plank ...
Europe has this problem? ... figures ... we get most of out imported oil from the dirt-bags in Canada ... American Columbia and Alberta are OURS dammit ... moron English sailed right by the Golden Gate and Columbia sand bar ... they don't deserve any land west of Newfoundland ...
