US Oil Dependence: A Strategic Opportunity

Cal Thomas recently quoted President Joe Biden's statement that 'there is nothing we can't do if we do it together.'

Thomas argues that this principle should be applied to solving the US's oil dependence on Middle Eastern countries, particularly Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Gulf States are resigned to Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for oil exports.

The main challenge lies in processing heavier, higher-sulfur crude from the Middle East, as US refineries were not built to handle it.

President Trump suggested tapping into light, sweet crude from the North Sea, which could boost the UK economy, according to Thomas.
