After Iraq's invasion of Kuwait of August 2, 1990, the U.S. became less dependent on Eastern Hemisphere oil and more dependent on Western Hemisphere oil. Although a terrible event caused the shift, the phenomenon gives energy policy deliberators pause. Is it not in favor of U.S. oil supply and price stability to do more business with Western Hemisphere neighbors The big swing producers exporting to the U.S. in the period Sept.-Dec. 1990 were Canada, Mexico and Venezuela with a combined increase in share of 21.8%. This issue also contains the following: (1) the ED Refining Netback Data Series for the U.S. Gulf and West Coasts, Rotterdam, and Singapore as of Feb. 8, 1991; and (2) the ED Fuel Price/Tax Series for countries of the Western Hemisphere, Feb. 1991 edition. 7 figs., 5 tabs.
