Will this one last as long as the previous production agreement? Over/under on this one? 3 weeks?

Saudis, Iranians, Iraqis, Yemenis, Russians - very trustworthy bunch. I'm sure they'll stick to their production cut commitments. :coffee:

The more we expand alternative energy sources the quicker they cut each others throats. :thumb:

Hell, we can stop drilling now and get all the oil we want with surplus wheat and government cheese.

Weird that they're making this move now. They tried to flood the market to bring the price down and strike back at the fracking industry here in the US, and now, failing to have done that, they're resigned to sharing the market. This is like a flag of surrender from OPEC. Yay Fracking!!!!

I'm not sure you understand the article.

Electricity Production
Coal = 33%
Natural gas = 33%
Nuclear = 20%
Hydropower = 6%
Other renewables = 7%
Biomass = 1.6%
Geothermal = 0.4%
Solar = 0.6%
Wind = 4.7%
Petroleum = 1%
Other gases = <1%

They tried in June I believe - to cut production but as you point out - no agreement could be settled on

This will get broken by Jan 1

I don't understand why people always take sides on US energy. Fucking do it all. Carbon-based, sun-based, wind-based, hydro, nuclear, etc.

Don't worry. We're about to have a President who has no clue about anything. I'm sure he'll fix it.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Your wife goes to a church that is lead by a guy with no clue about anything...how's that working out? :suspicious:





















And...you ELECTED to be with her.















And her dog...before it was killed because of the actions of its owner.





















Have you had a real conversation with her about your true feelings about god and dog? :suspicious:

Maybe you and 89 can team up and find a way to refute the point of the article. I mean assuming either of you actually read it :?
