I suppose hypothetically if he significantly increased royalties/export fees/whatever and joined OPEC to manipulate the price of oil, it might help.

Obviously that would be crazy.

Joining OPEC would subject the United States to production quotas. We're the world's largest oil producer. But we're also the largest consumer.

But, like, even in that eventuality, it would be better for the US to have a bunch of wind power so we can export more oil.

I agree! I'm just brainstorming at this point but it's basically like guessing in a game of Texas Holdem.
