Subject: Re: controlling oil
The Sec Energy says what I have been saying, out loud. Preventing other's access to Venezuelan oil, is just about as good as having exclusive access to it, and easier to implement.

We’re not taking Venezuela’s oil, we’ve prevented them from selling it: Energy Secretary

That only seems to have an affect on Cuba. Oil becomes worthwhile in Venezuela at around $80. I think we don't know what we're doing, and I'm hoping for some serendipity.
