@cbsmornings: Experts say the U.S. deal for majority control of 60 billion barrels of #oil in #Venezuela is likely to only be a short-term fix for high #gasprices, which have been elevated by the war with Iran. Venezuela will retain ownership over its resources, the country’s interim president Delcy Rodríguez said over the weekend, and stands to make $209 billion in revenue.
Venezuela oil is hard to turn to gas. its dirty af. oil companies would only want to refine the wells they have dry before using Venezuela oil. it was stupid

You wanna lower the price of gasoline? Where were you when Ukraine was attacked by Russia and gas went up that didn’t even involve the US

Listen, I don’t like Trump anymore, but if this works out, this is a good deal. The last place I would ever take advice is from the Democrats to try and lower gas prices when their states have some of the highest gas prices when one of them administration had higher gas prices in history.

This is a good thing! Venezuela will become reliant on US buying oil. This gives us leverage in future negotiations. We can’t be short sighted on the benefits this provides in 10 years

The amount of money that’s going to take to get Venezuela to produce and refine their oil is going to be insane. Gas companies will still pass that price onto us.

But it requires a $100 Billion investment and at least two-years to rebuild the oil infrastructure in Venezuelan. And with the Government being unstable there, a change could mean contracts being voided, just as Billion dollar Chinese and Russian contracts and investments were voided to make this deal. So we'll see what actually happens after the headlines fade.
