Huge stimulus to the western economies. Will suck to be Russian, Iranian, or North Dakotan.

Mother Gaia trembles as the human infestation gears up to spew its poison into the atmosphere. Now would be a good time to raise fuel taxes and surcharges.

Maybe we threatened to drop Ebolabombs on their heads?
Perhaps taking money from those states unfriendly to Egypt and the house of Saud?

What impact will this have on domestic production and our economy that is thriving right now?

Lafayette/ Lake Charles corridor specifically.

Or people could just pay for the right to dump their non-renewable carbon into the atmosphere.

$60 oil means fracking is not economically feasible. If OPEC wasn't at war they could easily swamp the market and put a stop to the boom in the US by bankrupting marginal producers. Production in the US becomes unprofitable at about $75 a barrel....

So if oil is $75/barrel what is the ballpark for gas prices?

The average consumer that doesn't rely on O&G for employment loves this.

Whatever happened to the "Middle east is in turmoil, therefore gas prices are high" theory?

That's about where it should be and the net positive to the economy will FAR outweigh the negatives.

Most Americans are too stupid to save. All that disposable income will just go right back into the economy. It's a WIN for anyone not vested in oil shale.

You don't pay for rights.
You don't have to pay to vote
You don't have to pay to own a gun (other than the purchase of the gun)
You don't have to pay to have a trial by jury of your peers

You pay for priviledges. Also Tuba, Australia tried and failed with cap and trade, the EU is seriously considering getting rid of their system and they still had less carbon reduction than a cap and trade free USA. Why are so hung up on a failed policy? I know the answer because but posting it would probably get me banned.

He's an "academic". They base everything on theory and never on substance.

It's been proven time and time again.
