MEANWHILE- The US path to energy dominance goes through Saudi Arabia: The US ambition to achieve “energy dominance” and bring fuel prices down under the incoming Donald Trump administration agenda would hinge on partnering with Saudi Arabia or other Opec+ members to pump more oil into the market, Founder of Rapidan Energy Bob Mcnally told Bloomberg in an interview (watch, runtime: 1:56).
What he said: “The only option that any president has to quickly…increase oil supply to reduce prices is to call Opec+ leadership and successfully convince them to open the taps. I don’t think that is going to happen,” he said, noting that the US currently doesn’t have spare oil capacity to achieve energy dominance on its own.
