Why are Republicans so keen to maintain oil dependence on Middle Eastern countries?
They know who butters their bread
Though I’ll note that the dependence is somewhat limited; the US has been a net oil exporter for several years.
There is still dependence on imports because the “oil liquids” that extract in the US are different from the oil that they want locally. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=54199
There’s also dependence on the petro-dollar. This one is more complicated, but if the world demand for oil drops, it’s going to make USD less valuable.
