This historical perspective challenges the narrative that the 1970s gas lines were solely due to a lack of available supply.

He claims the U.S. is now a net exporter of oil and does not depend on Saudi production. Pieczenik suggests Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is desperate to achieve a $2 trillion valuation for the company despite failing to go public in previous years.
