Do you realize O&G companies produce other consumables? You save $3 a fill up but it costs you an extra $4 to wash your clothes. Lower profits on one side means higher on the other.

There's about to be a flood of 4-wheelers and side by sides on Craigslist.

The price of a gallon of gas is comprised of ~50% crude oil, the rest is made up of other costs like taxes, refining, and marketing.

Hence why Californians and their whacko government pay so much more

What will all of this do to the Texas/New Mexico boom we've been having for the past 6-7 years ?

I have a small share in an equipment rental company which provides sand traps used in fracking.

I don't work in O&G but know a lot of people who do. I wish nothing but the best for them and everyone else too.

Maybe Louisiana can finally stop being a banana republic for the oil and gas industry. It'll hurt for while, but Louisiana will be better for it in the long run.

Good idea deny a plentiful resource And create something else. Dam off the Mississippi River and see if we can even become better through starving ourselves from the natural advantages we have. Colorado should get away from skiing and Hawaii should shut down the beaches

It's weird how socialist baws become when it comes to O&G.

We must pay more for oil-derived products in order to fund jobs? Like it's a right to have an O&G extraction job?

Imagine this scenario:

We pay every baw that works in upstream O&G 90% of their salary no matter what. If they work they get that 90% plus whatever they normally make. We could fully fund this program by adding an 17 cent tax on gasoline, and that's not even factoring in all the other products that are made from oil.

So.. if Americans get to pay 25 cents a gallon less for gas, which adds up to $14.3b a year in extra disposable income.. and they pay less for things made out of plastic, for airplane flights, for shipping, clothes, couches, tires, etc then how is that not a net positive for America?

You guys are falling for the broken window fallacy big time.

It’s pathetic and sad that people are celebrating Louisiana’s economy tanking just because we have a Democrat governor. And these people call the other side scum. SMH
