In his latest op-ed in The Hill, Jason Bordoff argues that the recent speculation about disruptions in oil supply from Saudi Arabia, even if highly unlikely to materialize, are a reminder that no matter how much oil the U.S. produces or how little it imports, in a global market prices at the pump will still spike if there is a disruption in any global oil supply.
