That's a shame but I don't see an end to it. Cheap gas won't be permanent. Green companies may suffer some but go away? Doubt it.

Besides, why the dislike for companies that want are environmentally conscious?

Yeah because cheap oil is FOREVER..!!!

Just like Communism and the hoola hoop

Name 3 things we all thought would last forever - I'll start

1) The Land Line Phone
2) Folgers Freeze Dried Coffee
3) NASA

Hey asshole…I still drink Folgers Instant Crystals and they still have that same mountain grown flavor (seriously, I really do).

The wife likes to doctor hers up with some Carnation Creme Brûlée creamer, but I take mine black. Just like my men.

Fucking Western Washington coffee queens... :ohno:

Yet another in the "falling oil prices are a HORRIBLE thing" articles from the left. Obviously we need more taxes to prop up the cost of oil or MOAR subsidies to green energy.
MEAC, last one out turn off the lights.

A Couple of my relatives work at the local Koch refinery. Most of that oil is sandy Canadian Oil that they pay $18 a barrel for. They pay good wages and have nice benefits under the Union contracts.

The sad thing is that he just bought a new home and car about 6-8 months ago.
Unfortunately, it looks like my friend was just an early casualty and one of the first of many. Schlumberger is cutting 9000 jobs (7% of its workforce): http://oilpro.com/post/9729/oil-service-...t-got-real" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As I said in another thread: We should simply strong arm countries that try to play games with oil prices and don't have strong militaries. Play fair and we'll leave you alone. Don't play fair and we'll kick your ass and just take your oil.

That's the way the world works. You've got a valuable resource and you're a pussy militarily. Be nice or you're toast. That's you Saudi Arabia.

Fair? It's a free market global economy; they're a sovereign nation and can produce as much or as little oil as they want.
