(3,094 posts)oil in the 70s and threw out the U.S. exploiters and Iran No. 3 in oil reserves who had agreements dating back to 1954. Saudi Arabia is No. 2 and they renegotiated their agreements with U.S. companies in the 70s when we had that economic disaster, the oil embargoes.
So instead of investing more in alternate energy sources, Trump is guaranteeing that we are at the mercy of the oilmen.
