The Attack on the Saudi Oil Fields and the Left’s Crusade Against Fossil Fuels

RUSH: I want to move on to this attack on the Saudi oil fields. It was actually an attack on two things. It was an attack on a gigantic Saudi oil field and then a crude oil processing center which is the next step after the oil is brought out of the ground. That is at a place called Abqaiq and it’s near the Persian Gulf not far from Qatar as you look at the map. It’s due Northeast from Riyadh maybe a couple hundred miles. It’s flat-out in the middle of the Saudi desert where the oil is.

Essentially the Saudis have shut down the delivery, the export of five million barrels of oil a day. And the headlines all over the Drive-By Media yesterday were really inflammatory. This is the big one. This is what we’ve all been waiting for. This could be the end of the Saudi dominance in the supply of oil.

Another headline: “Crude Prices Soar After Attack on Saudi Facilities, Threatening Global Growth – Crude prices surged following an attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure.” And an announcement from President Trump that he has authorized the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Saudis have done the same thing. The Saudis have a large stock of oil that’s in reservoirs just waiting for emergency use.

Here we are in the midst of the Democrat Party, which is a major world power center, the Democrat Party, the United States of America is advancing its political fortunes on the idea that we need to get rid of fossil fuels, because fossil fuels are destroying the planet. Fossil fuels are polluting and heating up the planet to the point that it may not be habitable in 30 years or 40. This is something that the Democrat Party presidential candidates all have individually endorsed.

So an attack on the Saudi oil fields should have been welcomed.
