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.

YEMEN is back in the news....but why?

When you think about an electric car... Do you think about U.S. foreign oil politics...? Yes? No? Maybe? ... What do you think?
(byplug comment: U.S. National Debt, DEBT OIL (FOREIGN OIL) dependence, weaker dollar and.... 'Trouble' in foreign lands.
For years.....That 'trouble' may also be listed under a completely different headline such as "The U.S.
Needs to Go 'In' Because" .. "Terrorism strikes" or "Terrorism might strike" or "Terrorism Potentially Could Be Striking"... or "Could Become a Terror Hub" or "Rebels Causing Problems to Other Governments" ...and of course the U.S. needs to help because of Democracy and the goodness of our hearts".. you may or may not agree, just asking you to think. so... read the headlines...What do you think? Is there an oil (debt oil) war connection? .. I collected these with a google search - see one simple real world debt oil example (Yemen) in the picture below.... also note the terror spin:)

(byplug comment: in my neighborhood (SoCal), BAC controls an awful lot of the short sale and foreclosure residential real estate that is just sitting there, perhaps because of the CountryWide takeover.... and....it sits there......it seems really hard to get information on short sales and foreclosures and has forced some real estate agents to market other homes as "...and it is not a short sale or foreclosure!" ....
Q:
With huge profits, is there any sense of urgency, do you really have to do anything with liability real estate in 'limbo mode' or just ....."let it ride". Can you say "big bonus".
