The following is an article excerpt that describes the recent move by Washington to pass new legislation that would allow the US Government to sue OPEC for its cartel anti-competitive behavior.

"The bipartisan legislation, known as the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels or NOPEC Act, has been introduced in every Congress over the past 20 years but never signed into law."

"The House Judiciary Committee passed a NOPEC bill last month that would open up the cartel to antitrust lawsuits, potentially leaving the oil cartel vulnerable to paying billions of dollars in repatriations."
