Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]Just think if we no longer had to import Oil we would probably run a trade surplus.
Worth doing IMO.[/quote]
If we stopped importing Oil, we could probably
double the standard of living in this country.There was a reason Bush and Cheney fought
the Energy policies of the left.The poorer people are the more conservative they
are.November 28, 2009 at 1:18 PM #487775Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]Just think if we no longer had to import Oil we would probably run a trade surplus.

Participant[quote=jficquette]The reason oil went from mid 30’s to pushing 80 as the economy got worse and worst was solely due to maniplation by entities to keep Russia and Dubai and other Mid East governments from going under.
It’s cheaper for banks and other entities to push up oil prices by buying futures then getting hit with defaults.
Russia owes $400B to mostly western banks. If oil gets back to where it belongs which is around $25 a barrel and stays there for a few months then Russia will likely default along with Dubai and probably others.

If oil is at $25, exploration virtually turns off. Interestingly most oil companies need between 75-80 oil to be profitable for new discoveries. Most deep water projects, which are practically the only projects of any serious size are $80+ per barrel.$25 per barrel oil is certain destruction of the economy. If you push about $125 you have other problems.

HAHA… I’d love to see what our country would look like going from 20 million + barrels a day to 6 million,
After the soviet union collapsed cuba’s oil imports got cut in half. See what happened to them for an example.
