And anyone who thinks Mexico is going to significantly increase their oil output in the near future is delusional. Venezuela also has far more "heavy" oil than Canada, and it is cheaper to extract in Venezuela than in Canada. The sanctions are irrelevant, but if the US screws around, it might just lead to Venezuela cutting off supplies of oil to the US, which would cause significant problems and additional expense for the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-80085095942245783312011-06-08T10:34:40.779-04:002011-06-08T10:34:40.779-04:00It is not very important at all.
