It is for sure. This is actually something that everyone agrees on across the US political spectrum. I wonder if Obama stages that photo of himself bowing to the Saudis to get conservatives riled up against the Saudis. Probably not but it would have been a savvy move.
However the conservatives’ answer to all this is “drill baby drill” to increase US production and liberals’ answer to this is to move away from combustion technology completely. They don’t agree on climate change, which is core to the difference between these answers. And there we are.
