I now see why communities who make deals for drilling in these boom periods ought to ask for their "supersite clean up funds" before their wildcat businesses go bust and move on. You can't happily sue a company that has a negative value.<br /><br />David Stockman shows it is a storage issue at the moment, producers have to sell at any price to pay their bills, while when storage is used up, they'll have to pay to have someone take their oil, and that's when production will halt, and bankruptcies will really pile up.<br />http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/fracking-collapses-production-soars-no-bottom-yet-in-oil-bust/<br /><br />It's "normal" in the sense of commodity cycles, but its completely "unnormal" given we're probably in the last "cheap debt" cycle, and its going to be harder to get financing when the say 2024 boom tries to get going.<br /><br />What's more strange is that the last price collapse happened after the economic crisis, while this one might lead it. If even below-production cost oil can't raise the global economy, we're in worse shape than in 2008.<br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-56861170930389564732016-04-02T20:41:05.672-07:002016-04-02T20:41:05.672-07:00"...while Obama is not a Muslim himself...&qu..."...while Obama is not a Muslim himself..."<br /><br />What evidence do you have for that statement?

I can't wait until Ted Cruz or Trump become president. Trump wants to ban 1.3 billion Muslims from entering America, while Cruz tries to nuance himself by adding the word "radical".<br /><br />I'll take Minnesota's Eric Black's case for reference:<br /><br />https://www.minnpost.com/eric-black-ink/2016/03/cruz-fails-explain-how-his-favorite-three-word-phrase-saves-lives<br /><br />Eric Black: You, senator [Cruz], know perfectly well why Obama generally avoids the phrase you want him to adopt. He is concerned about alienating domestic and foreign Muslims who are not terrorists (whose help he believes the United States needs in fighting ISIS) by adopting a phrase that they might take as an insult to their religion, which they prefer to think of as a religion of peace that is perverted by violent apostates. You may disagree that this is necessary or helpful, but your effort to portray Obama’s preferred word choices as deranged or political correctness run amok are undermined by your unwillingness to acknowledge that Obama has a plausible and possibly helpful reason for his preferred usage. This makes your constant mockery of it seem insincere or unthinking.<br /><br />We all agree "words matter", but seem to see things in the opposite direction. One side seems whole religion of Islam as the source of evil of the world, and would seem to be willing to declare a holy war until the world is cleansed of this scourge.<br /><br />Then there are adults who don't want to raise the voice of a few thousand thugs as spokesmen for 1.3 billion human beings around the world.<br /><br />But as always, I understand, we all see what we want to see.<br /><br />But if anyone agrees we should end our dependence upon oil and help dry up all the oil money flowing into the middle east, I'm all for that project.<br /><br />Until then we still have to figure out how our oil got under their sand.<br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
