Happy Birthday to OPEC...not so happy news for us



Army:

This week marks OPEC's 50th birthday, but instead of celebrating, we're keeping in mind that OPEC controls oil prices by controlling production, and forcing the rest of the world to drill for the most expensive oil.
In his monthly update on the amount of foreign oil the U.S. imports, T. Boone Pickens said that based on the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Energy EIA, the U.S. imported 63% of its oil, or 382 million barrels in August 2010, sending approximately $29.3 billion abroad.
In related news...at the National Clean Energy Summit that recently took place in Las Vegas, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said "we've got to start getting the things done that we agree on."  Watch his remarks in the video below.
The Pickens Plan is something that has wide bi-partisan support and we can – and should – get it done now.  Have you signed the petition?  http://www.pickensplan.com/whatsyourplan
