A lot of things. Battery technology, superconducters, engine technology, and I'm sure some I haven't heard of. I'm not prescient enough to know which one or which several will be the breakthrough. If I did, I'd be investing in it. But it's coming.

Ah! You are talking about it from the consumption side. Maybe.

Suppliers, namely OPEC usually adjust production to meed demand. They aren't doing it right now and it's a long term ploy by the Saudis to hurt US production due to our higher raising costs, and to also poke the Russians in the eye.

Are these favors to Barry and the boys? You could argue both sides and I could believe either. An energy independent US isn't a bad thing and anyone that thinks otherwise is a moron. Fossil fuels are here to stay no matter how the much the left wants to think otherwise.


One a side note, WTF does gluten and Crossfit have to do with oil storage?

Saudis haven't increased production


I didn't say they did. They have not reduced production to keep supplies short as US production has sharply risen. A cartel's objective is to keep prices inflated. Saudi has broken ranks with the other nations and have not reduced supply to keep pressure on pricing.

It's also a grab for market share. Fighting over who is going to be China's go to supplier.

That can't be. Don't you know that "Big Oil" is only concerned with their profits.
