It looks obvious

Claims that the US has no energy policy are wrong, we do have a particularly bad one:

America says to foreign producers: We prefer not to pump our oil, so please pump more of yours, thereby lowering its value, for our benefit. Let it not be said that America has no energy policy.

As a side note I cannot ignore the contradiction in the internal logic of those who on the one side complaining about the damage done to the environment from the current level of Oil consumption and at the same time raising hell about the soaring Oil price. Is a consistent position is too much to ask for?

Before the congress send the lawyers to sue OPEC, it might be wise to check if US is not committing the same crime:

I am sure, either through scheming or more likely incompetence, that OPEC countries are under-supplying their potential capacity for oil production. But if we want to deem this a crime, who is the biggest criminal? The US is the only country I know of that has, by statute, made illegal the development of enormous domestic reserves. Just last week, Democrats in Congress, in fact the exact same folks sponsoring this bill, voted to continue an effective moratorium on US oil shale development. No country in the world is doing less to develop the most promising oil reserves than is the US. Congress, sue thyself. I mocked this idea weeks ago when Hillary first suggested it. If this passes, I would love to see the US counter-sued for not developing ANWR. Or large areas of the Gulf. Or most of the Pacific coast. Or all of the Atlantic coast. Or our largest-in-the-world oil shale deposits.

Since this populist legislation was never intended to be executed, only to create some notion among potential voters, we will not have the pleasure to see this scenario tested. What a shame…
