A Slippery Slope Ahead for Oil
By Andrew Mickey, Q1 Publishing
Dr. James Schlesinger says the U.S. attitude towards oil - has only two modes – complacency and panic.
Schlesinger should know. In the 70’s he closely watched the Middle East as the U.S. Secretary of Defense. Then he would move onto become the first U.S. Secretary of Energy when oil prices were really starting to move...
