Not in O&G but wouldn't $40 kind of shut down domestic drilling as in it costs more than that to get it out of the ground?

Wouldn’t completely shut it down, but there’d be a massive scale back, especially if we stayed at $38-42 for a significant amount of time. Our import vs export ratio of crude would probably to up.

That's what they tell ya. They would rather overcharge and not worry about the bottom line than be reasonable and aware of it.

I will take $40 barrels of oil for the rest of my life if it can be done.
