		Oil supply is largely controlled by the national oil companies of nations with significant reserves of cheap oil, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Norway and Kuwait.
		In addition, the economies of oil exporting nations are dependent on oil and efforts to restrict the supply of oil would have an adverse effect on the economies of oil producers.
		Oil demand is also seasonably variable as the countries of the Northern hemisphere, who dominate global oil consumption, consume more oil in the winter for home heating.

		U.S. crude oil reserves fell 31 percent between 1977 and 1997, to 22 billion barrels.

	BBC News \| BUSINESS \| Analysis: Another oil embargo?
		The idea of an oil embargo is slowly gaining ground in the Muslim world as it attempts to freeze out Israel, and whose powerful allies in Europe and the US rely on Middle Eastern oil.
		By the end of the 1980s, crude oil prices were more than 10 times their 1973 levels - and despite a stumble in the 1980s, they have never looked like heading south for good.
		Few analysts reckon enough Islamic oil producers feel sufficiently strongly about the Israeli unrest to shut off the oil taps for any protracted period; as in all cartels, the temptation to break ranks could be unbearable.

		New, higher-cost oil fields were developed in the North Sea and elsewhere, conservation programs were implemented and new energy sources were explored.

		(This, incidentally, was claimed by some to have caused traffic fatalities to drop by 23 percent between 1973 and 1974.) President Nixon named William Simon as an official "energy czar," and in 1977 a cabinet-level Department of Energy was created, which led to the creation of the United States' Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

		Most memorably, October brought an oil embargo by members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries, cutting further into the supply of oil and elevating prices to levels previously thought impossible.
		The purpose of this presentation is not to assess the causes of the 1973 energy crisis or the measures that were adopted to resolve it.
		From 1973 to the mid-1980's, prices continued at very high levels, in part because of a second oil shock in 1979-80.

	History of the Ford Bronco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Price control systems that were implemented at the time only aggravated the problem, and by October of 1973 The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) implemented an oil embargo that nearly crippled the country.
		It has been speculated by many that the onset of the 1973 OPEC oil embargo was by far the main reason that the introduction of the full-size Bronco was delayed until the 1978 model year.
		The combination of the OPEC oil embargo of 1973-1974 and the engineering difficulties Ford had to overcome delayed the introduction of the second-generation by four years, which meant that even before it was released it was already obsolete.

	Fact-O-Rama -- What if There Was a Repeat of 1973 Oil Crisis?
		In evaluating whether an OPEC embargo on the United States could happen again, consider the roster of OPEC countries: Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.
		Now consider that in January of this year, the U.S. imported an average of 5.522 million barrels of oil per day from OPEC countries.
		That is nearly twice as much as the 2.993 million barrels that the U.S. averaged in daily imports from OPEC in 1973.
