you actually think, $70 per barrel is low?


OPEC thinks it's low...and if you read the post again I said it was to get the price up from the low 70s, not that 70 was low.

That being said, when adjusting for inflation, it is a historically low price/bbl.

nearly 2.0MM barrels of refining capacity have permanently come offline during past 3 yrs, so higher fuel prices are pretty much institutionalized until more is built, and not at all likely with existing administration. No CEO in the world would invest in new greenfield capacity during the past few years or they would be fired by the board. Stockholders demand nearly 40% hurdle rate for capital projects or they want dividends and buybacks. There is carte blanch refusal to spend capital in Cali btw so no relief coming for them.

Here's hoping it does and stays there through election day. Only way some of these retards are going to understand is pain.

Curious what you think the price of oil should be.

I personally wouldn’t call 70 “low”, but if you did get to a low mark like 45, you’d see American E&Ps not currently on this blowing and going rate. You would see production in the U.S. start to decrease.
