Saudi Prince and Fox News co-owner Alwaleed Bin Talal on the price of oil: The stiff position of Saudi Arabia, we want the price to be between $70 and $80. Not only to help the West, but also to help ourselves. We don’t want the West to go and find alternatives, because, clearly, the higher the price oil goes, the more you have incentive to go and find alternatives. So, really, our interest coincides with American interest, to have the price for around $70, $80 which is a price good for consumers and producers.
Keeping us hooked on oil is anything but in the "American interest." It's in the special interests. It's in the GOP interests. But it's not in America's interest. So on the one hand we have the Saudis, Fox News, big oil and the Republican party. And on the other hand we have the American people, the environment, future generations and clean energy. Just so we know where we stand....
