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

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

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

The more we expand alternative energy sources the quicker they cut each others throats.ASUG8 wrote:Saudis, Iranians, Iraqis, Yemenis, Russians - very trustworthy bunch. I'm sure they'll stick to their production cut commitments.
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 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.

And say things as they really are

Maybe you and 89 can team up and find a way to refute the point of the article.
