NEWS RELEASE

Baker Institute experts: NOPEC bill is no good, actually hurts US
The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 provided a powerful lever for the U.S. government to break up John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Trust. Now, members of Congress seek to amend the Sherman Act to “make oil-producing and exporting cartels illegal” under U.S. law and allow suits against the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. This may increase oil price volatility while potentially depressing oil prices, according to a new policy brief by experts at Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
