Sorry, I'm not usually one to resort to grammar attacks, but I honestly couldn't even understand what you were trying to say.

All I did was state that none of what you posted in your initial post was a fact. This shouldn't be this difficult to understand.


Well stop arguing and show me facts that say I'm wrong, because I've showed you facts that say I'm right from top notch sources.

And you say we have global warming but the last two decades when global warming has become main stream the earth's temperature hasn't risen a degree and in some studies it has actually dropped a degree. I just don't think a sane person can still believe that it's true. If the earth is not warming how can one think there is global man made warming? Does the earth go through cycles yes without a doubt and that's been proven through geological studies. To say though that putting wind turbines in the desert will reduce global warming is as ludicrous as saying my diesel truck is making it rise.

Dude, I'm not arguing that you are wrong, but national geographic is not a top notch source on the subject. Again, I AM NOT ARGUING THAT GLOBAL WARMING EXISTS OR DOES NOT EXIST.

This just shows your lack of understanding of the other side of the argument. 20 years is not even a blip on the radar when you consider Earth's history. Not even close. Those that believe global warming is occurring believe that it is happening over a much much longer period of time. This is like looking at a daily downtrend in apple stock and claiming that it hasn't risen over the past 20 years, or isn't going to continue to rise in the future.

Yep, the past few comments have confirmed what I originally thought, stupid as hell.

A person that let's his political beliefs get in the way of his common sense.

I'll chime in on oil and let y'all keep talking about gluten.

Oil is cheap because the US military in the Middle East is making it cheap. We are providing false stability.

Maybe we should deploy troops in the Midwest so that corn prices can drop.

Lawd.

Oil is cheap because the supply has outstripped the demand. It's not much more difficult than that.

We have a global fossil fuel economy and will continue for at the very least the rest of my lifetime.

OPEC is a cartel that has artificially inflated prices for decades by throttling the supply of crude. Big bad evil "Big Oil" companies have sharply increased the supply through fracking which has lessened the cartel's ability to keep prices inflated. OPEC (specifically Saudi) is dumping oil on the market to drop prices more in an effort to stem the growth of US fracking. Saudi's end game is to make oil higher than it previously was by shutting down the US fracking infrastructure.

Cushing is still at only about two-thirds capacity. Refinery workers are on strike, which has to be curtailing demand for crude. And there is a buttload of floating capacity that's about to free up as the contango ain't looking as good as it once did. Plus, I bet people have been busting arse to refurbish some old tankage that hasn't been used in a while.

Nah. I just don't see it. The question is whose agenda does it serve to say prices are about to crash?

There is no agenda in "saying" something is going to crash. Economists are trying their best to predict the future conditions. They are NOT the tail that wags the dog as some think. There clearly is an agenda by Saudi. They want to stop the unprecedented growth seen during the last couple of years on this chart. They want the West to again be dependent on them.

I think it was in the late '90s....something called "Peak Oil".

Saudis haven't increased production, they just haven't decreased like they did in 09 to get prices back up

And they were right in a way. The low fruit had been picked.

They did not forsee three-D seismic, advances in directional, lwd, or any other of a host of things that made it easier to find and produce oil.

They damn sure did not forsee exploiting shales with long-reach horizontals and staged hydraulic fracturing.

So we bet on the come, and technology paid off. Now the new risk is economic.

Who's going to put $500,000,000 behind the next shale play knowing that the Saudis can take them out at any moment?

How ya gonna replace the talent and infrastructure that just got laid off or is rusting in the yard as we wait this out?

There is lots of oil under the ground. Whether you can economically produce it in the future is a huge question. Me? I expect a huge oil shock in a few years. If you keep your cars for a while, by something really fuel efficient next go-round. It's gonna get ugly at the pump.

I think we're on the verge of an efficiency and/or technology revolution that will eventually make the oil in the ground a lot less valuable than it is now. Maybe not in time to forestall the next oil shot, but almost surely the one after that.
