Do you think that would do anything more than just kick the can down the road? If so, why? We are going to be heavily dependent on oil for decades, way beyond the point where it will be available the price and quantity we need. By we, I mean both the United States and the world.

Totally agree with your take that this won't move the needle in the election.

I think the time when this kind of deal would make a lot of strategic sense was at least 20 years ago at a minimum, and probably further back. We're too close to the end of cheap oil for it to be a good idea now.
