We should only cut them off when we have sustainable renewable energy, and if we were willing to control our borders and properly and fully vet people coming from the Middle East.

It was the West that put the Saudi Royals in place and it will be the West who destroy the Saudis if they ever close their door to the West. From our history of wars in the Middle East, I suspect its the Saudi's that are more wary of us than we are of them.
