so what do you think of the price of gas in the US ?

I read a few days ago that there are shale oil reserves under the Dakotas and Montana that are as big as the Middle East's. And the reserves in ANWAR exceed all that. But, by God, we can't begin to think about displacing a damn moose in favor of drilling for oil. ****ing environmental wackos. Increasing prices are not a result of decreasing availability of crude oil. Rather an artifical limitation of supply by a bunch of ragheads. Their increased profit=our increased costs to live=a recession/depression=political upheaval in the US=the liklihood of electing POTUS who is sympathetic toward the jihadists. I think it's interesting to note that the spot price of crude on the world market began to go crazy just about the same time that a politician named B Hussein Obama became a (scary) possibility to be POTUS. I promise you that beginning serious exploration and production of US oil will drive down and stabilize the world supply. Don't even have to produce the first barrel of crude, just the threat of it will probably suffice. Oh, no - somebody else has what we want, and now we have to pay their price! That's never happened before. It's sorta how capitalism works, when the namby-pamby socialists don't interfere... Joe (ducking for cover) |

It just doesn't start working immediately. People are driving less. Any community that relies on tourism is complaining loud and long about the drop in visitors. People are trading in their monster gas guzzlers for more fuel efficient vehicles. Prices on SUV's have dived to where you can buy new ones at employee prices for 0% down and 0% financing for 72 months. Used ones are being dumped at outrageously low prices. There's a waiting list for hybrids and fuel efficient vehicles like the Mercedes "Smart" (which the Americans have just now discovered). More people are looking at (and buying) electrics). . The change in driving habits is happening - slowly but steadily. It'll accelerate as fuel prices continue to increase and an increasing number of communities invest in improved public transit. The first to be seriously hit will be the airlines and truckers. Fewer people will be flying and fewer goods will be shipped great distance. The $11 per gallon price has much less effect in Brit than here because the distances travelled are radically less. Get the price in the US up to $8 per gallon and you'll see a dramatic reduction in miles driven and size of vehicle used. |

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH.. Dude you gotta stop reading ! At least what ever propaganda's being fed to ya ! I'm in the Oil business (hence my location) and let me tell you about 'Your Shale'.... You ain't getting **** all out of shale, this month, this year or this century. If shale was viable, your Psychotic Administration would be pumping it like Javaslut does his sister.... Let me be clear.... There is NO OIL IN SHALE (and the 'Shale' mostly isn't shale anyway) it's a rock called "Marl", have you got that ? The ****, and I do mean ****, is the Organic Carbon Compounds. On such substance is called "Kerogen" which can produce a 'transportation fuel' once it has been "Retorted" and THEN refined. And not just any refiniery either,.... You better have a BP or SHELL plant on Steroids for this NASTY ass ****. Also don't forget that the process leaves MASSIVELY inflated "Carcinogenic Rock" (ie. WAY MORE THAN WHAT YOU STARTED WITH) and byproducts that make Chinese factories look like Disneyland. Oh, did I forget to mention that you NEED about 3 barrels of WATER for every barrel of "Shale Oil" ? Who the hell is gonna give you that kind of water in those "ALLREADY WATER SENSITIVE REGIONS" ? Who's gonna supply the Gas to heat TENS of TRILLIONS of METERS of ROCK to 700 degrees Celcius for the "Retorting" ? What are you going to do with the newly expanded Carcinogenic Rock now ? How about the Monstrous amount of Greenhouse gasses, Pollution and Carcinogen's ? No, Shale Oil isn't going to save ANYONE. Christ it would be cheaper to invade a Middle East Country and Steal their Oil instead !! Oh...wait a minute... Do some DD before you open your yap ya moron. /MM |
