"Many of my colleagues continue to promote the view that if we drill for more oil on the Outer Continental Shelf, we will soon drill our way into energy independence and low oil prices."

"Truly shocking that a country that as the head of OPEC, an organization designed to artificially raise the price of oil, would actually ask for compensation for reduced demand for that product."
