Why was the United states vulnerable to OPEC?

The United States was vulnerable to OPEC due to its heavy reliance on imported oil, especially during the 1970s when domestic production was declining. This dependence made the U.S. economy susceptible to OPEC's decisions, particularly during the oil embargoes and price hikes, which led to inflation and economic stagnation. Additionally, the lack of alternative energy sources and insufficient strategic reserves further exacerbated this vulnerability. Consequently, OPEC's ability to manipulate oil prices significantly impacted U.S. economic stability and energy policy.
