People will destroy heaven to create hell simply because heaven was created by someone other than them, and the heaven they live in makes them feel inferior.
@obihahn it's ok. The UK is funding a few ~100k GBP grants to feed insects to African children and see what happens.
@Tohsaka saw that. Hardly a revolutionary idea. Natural gas burns cleaner, though from a CO2 standpoint I'm guessing they're about the same. What they really need to is go nuclear, but heaven forbid we listen to the science.
@wiidman Yup, refining capacity in the US is a huge issue. A major refiner just had a pump failure yesterday which I suspect could send gasoline prices higher.
I just don't see it reducing oil prices much. Oil is a global commodity unlike natural gas.
@wiidman the symbolism is amusing, but unless they're armed (with small arms) and willing to shoot the police/army, and take heavy casualties, then a tank isn't much different from a big tractor. They'll just escort you away from it on foot, then tow it off. If you don't open the hatch they'll just blow it off. Even armed tanks are pretty defenseless alone without infantry support.
@wiidman well, it worked so well for Venezuela I guess...
@wiidman @Tfmonkey I very much doubt that. I'm sure prices will go back up, but it can take a while for inventories to draw down and the fundamentals to do their thing.
@Tfmonkey there is still quite a bit of inventory out there, but it keeps falling. The lower prices go, the faster it will fall, and the slower production will ramp up.
If people actually USE less oil that will impact the long-term price. Stuff like this might drive short-term sentiment, but there is only so much slack in the market before it rebounds, IMO.
