Comments on: Venezuelan oil exports to the USA: You say you want a revolution… http://devilsexcrement.com/2009/09/22/venezuelan-oil-exports-to-the-usa-you-say-you-want-a-revolution/ Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

It’s the foreign policies of the US Federal Govt he has a problem with. They don’t like him either though, but are too economically addicted to the oil to say no (America itself would survive cutting off the oil, but powerful figures would be toppled, to be replaced by some new status quo).

The increase is more to do with the increased gas-guzzling tendencies of the US, it’s better to sell as much oil close-by than to send it further afield.

Start pressuring Citgo, restricting imports, diversifying elsewhere (Brazil?). Fat chance Obama will do anything, of course.

According to Espinasa, the drop in exports to the United States has been slower than the drop in total exports. Therefore, Venezuela’s exports have tended to be concentrated in exports to the United States. This is for strictly economic reasons, first the exports from the Strategic Associations by design go to refineries in the Unite States and these are an increasing fraction of total exports, and second, the economies that the CITGO system provides for PDVSA, which is designed to value the Venezuelan crudes, which would be sold at lower prices in other destinations.
