@feld right, and OPEC Used to be able to swing oil prices really hard, with nasty results in the 1970's, which eventually led to various agreements with them *as well as* the interest in efficient cars in the US at the time.
The *potential* is still there, but OPEC hasn't been too disciplined lately
The market's going to do what the market's going to do, and a lot of the "Green New Deal" was aimed at making it a soft landing for ordinary Americans
And the Republicans as a party just hate anything that might make life easier for you
