If they push too hard they might even push obama into natural gas as it is expanding without him already. With a little support the use of it would skyrocket. When it does opec will start to hurt. It will be money they will never see that will be spent by Americans for the most part. Most of it will stay in America. When the price comes down on Natural Gas conversions to bi fuel and Detroit imports more of the cars already being sold in Europe and the Mid East opec will get hurt bad. Then when the East Coast starts using Natural Gas and the people realize the savings by not using fuel oil opec will be hurt worse.
