Hmmm. You mean Iran's saber-rattling has nothing to do with thge price of oil?

At any rate, we are in for some VERY big changes over the next several decades, as the oil starts to run out. We've already extracted abd consumed half of all the oil there is (or ever will be)--the easy half. The remaining half is either in hard-to-0reach or hostile territory, and much of that is in the form of shale and other material that has to undergo conversion to liquids, adding further steps of labor and cost to the extraction process. On top of this, we may never be able to get all of the remaining oil out of the ground, and even if we could somehow extract all 1 trillion or so barrels of the remaining oil, it would only be enough for another 30 years of consumption, at today's rates.

Our entire human civilization is totally dependent for its daily life on just one finite, irreplaceable natural resource, oil. As it runs out, the Industrial Era will end. There ARE serious upheavals coming, and our way of life (and that of societies all over the globe) are about to undergo big changes.

An Arab saying puts it very starkly: "My father rode a camel, I drive a Rolls-Royce, my son flies a jet airplane, and his son will ride a camel." Gas prices will begin a climb to the stratosphere in just a few years, as production struggles to keep up with ever-0increasing demand, and no President, now or in the future, will be able to stop or change that. Every developed country in the world will be competing for the dwindling supply of oil. The era of cheap oil is ending, and with it, our car-dependent way of life.

This has been known since at LEAST 1973, and the problem is, the end of cheap oil--indeed, the end of oil itself--was seen as being so far in the future as to be an abstraction, of no concern to people living in the here and now "because we'll be dead then". The trouble with that is, the end of cheap oil is underway NOW...

Cheap oil is gone. But medium-priced oil is not. In fact, the earth has more of it than is healthy for us to burn.

Shale oil is not so hard to extract. It's being done extremely profitably in ND even when oil prices are at the low end of the range they've been over the past few years. The main problem is water availability in the west. But they've figured out how to reuse the water to a large degree.

What's you're proposing is the common "wisdom" among lay persons who don't understand the nature of how commodity markets work.

Physical commodity markets like oil are zero–sum markets where
all money flows must by definition net to zero. For every long there is a short, for everyone who thinks the price is going up there is someone who thinks it is going down, and for everyone who trades with the flow of the market, there is someone trading against it.

Flows of money, no matter how large, do not necessarily affect the futures price of a commodity at a given point in time. Prices will
change if new information emerges that causes market participants to revise their estimates of physical supply and/or demand. Just because large investment have flowed into the long side of commodity futures markets at the same time that prices have risen substantially (or the reverse) does not necessarily prove anything. This is more than likely the classical statistical mistake of confusing correlation with causation. You need a test that accounts for changes in money flow and fundamentals before a conclusion can be reached about the impact of speculation.

Longer–term equilibrium prices are ultimately determined in cash markets where buying and selling of physical commodities must reflect fundamental supply and demand forces. This is precisely why all commodity futures contracts have some type of delivery or cash settlement system to tie futures and cash market prices together. Speculators ARE forced to take delivery if they haven't closed their long position by settlement date.

In your dreamland, Kevin, hedgers are benign risk–avoiders and speculators are active risk–seekers. This ignores nearly a century of academic research showing that the behavior of hedgers and speculators is actually better described as a continuum between
pure risk avoidance and pure speculation. Nearly all commercial firms labeled as "hedgers" speculate on price direction and/or relative
price movements, some frequently, others not as frequently.

Observed speculative levels in commodity futures markets since early 2006 either did not exceed the hedging needs of commercial firms or did not exceed historical norms for the level of speculation relative to hedging needs. Simply put, there is no compelling evidence that speculation was 'excessive.'

I am referring to this president's blocking American production of American oil off American Shores and within American borders.

There have been 300 offshore drilling permits issued since May 2009. Ten were issued just last month.

I'm also referring to his blocking of oil from canada, coming to the US via a pipeline.

We're already getting that oil by rail.

I'm clearly referring to his deliberate actions that prevent us from becoming less dependent on middle eastern oil.

Only 10.3 percent of our oil came from the Middle East in 2011, down from 14.5 percent in 2008. For the first time since 1997, we consumed more domestic oil than imported in 2010 and 2011.

And given that the main board is about rail, they seem to totally deny the fact that oil can be transported by rail. It's cheaper to use a pipeline, but not required. They seem to think all that oil is just languishing in Alberta because there's no way to get it out of Canada.

Do you really think it's a free market when the obamites are deliberately blocking domestic production of crude oil and keeping us dependent on foreign oil?

Already addressed this one.

Do you really think it's a free market when the obamites are deliberately blocking the purchasing of Canadian oil while forcing us to by from countries on the other side of the world?

We get more of our oil from Canada than any other foreign country.

Do you think it's a free market when the obamites virtually stop all off shore drilling, give massive aid to the Brazilian oil induetry and then tell them that we want to be their best customer?

Already addressed the offshore drilling. The line of credit to Brazil was approved by the U.S. Export-Import Bank before Obama had any appointees on the Bank's board. It's also a good thing, since the money is directly to purchase U.S. goods and services.

Do you really think it's a free market when the obamites force the production of exotic blends of gasoline to appease the tree huggers and cause everyone else to pay higher prices?

This is the best example of the free market - the federal ethanol subsidy expired last month. Reformulated fuel standards are a result of the 1990 Clean Air Act, 2005 Energy Policy Act, 2006 Renewable Fuel Standard Program, and 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act.

Maybe massive export tariffs and/or price controls so American companies will be forced to sell domestically at a lower price.




That will result in American companies taking their business elsewhere while also putting them at a disadvantage against foreign companies that import and sell here.

It would result in the shuttering of refining capacity and gasoline shortages.

Such tactics only work in countries that nationalize their oil industry while also being net exporters of crude who can then effectively subsidize their domestic consumption.

It can't work with the private sector, especially in a country that is a net importer of crude and will always remain so.

We'd also end up offshoring our refining capacity (of which we are now net exporters) and having to import refined products under such a disastrous policy.

The strategic reserves are for when there is an oil shortage.

There is none.

Oh, I forgot one - crash the economy, 2008-style!

That worked well; it cut prices in half. Oh and then they've doubled since then LOL.

Oil is much more efficient traveling by pipeline than by trains. Theres a time for trains and theres a time not. I fly too instead of amtrak...i wouldnt even consider taking a train instead of plane.

Of course a pipeline is more efficient but the point is that the oil can be and is being transported by rail and isn't stuck up in Canada.

What's funny is that before cheap oil was the 2012 Republican platform, they were insisting on the pipeline because it would create jobs. Seems to me it would cost more jobs - American jobs, at least - than it would create.

The pipeline has to be built...jobs. has to be maintained. You statement is like adding an atm at a bank.

Lower capital expenditure. Lower cost per barrel. Lower use of additional energy. All that is true.

But the right has been claiming totally that oil from Canada can't get to the US because of a lack of pipeline capacity, and that's just a politically-based fabrication.
