What's the deal with oil? Saudi Arabia's about-face on OPEC (part 2)
Issued on: Modified:
Will OPEC really tighten production? Is Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, really feeling the pinch? The kingdom has just announced austerity measures but it still sits on a massive sovereign wealth fund. What does that money buy when you see the US Congress overriding a presidential veto on suing the Saudis over links to 9/11? Finally, it's not just our dependence on Saudi oil... but oil in general. Even in France, one in four cars sold is now a gas-guzzling SUV.
