Call me selfish but I gave dearly 30+ years to a great company and am damn happy to be out of it collecting my pensions. I truly feel for those now impacted just as I was in my 30 years.

They say this is a price war between the Saudis and the Russkies, but I see it as an attempt by both, colluding to put the US frackers out of business.

Too many taxes on gas to go below a dollar. The democrats will add more while it's low, if we let them. This

Nobody was lined up to give me condolences when the housing market [bleep] the bed in '08. We all live in a system that operates on boom/bust cycles. Enjoy the good times and make sure you save enough to drink your way through the down turns. If you don't have the stones to deal with that, get a job in the public sector. They're always hiring building inspectors and DMV clerks.

First off, let me be clear that I am in no way claiming to be any kind of an expert in this field, but consider this: What if the U. S. put a high import fee on crude oil and refined products - and enforced it - to prop up domestic production? Don't get me wrong, I would love to pay around $1.00/gallon for gasoline retail, but our economy cannot stand the massive layoffs that this will cause in our domestic production. These oil companies cannot stay in business if they are not making a profit. If they close down, those workers cannot buy anything or pay their bills. If they cannot spend money on cars, clothes, restaurants, new TVs, washing machines, etc., etc., this will devastate our economy. A lot of people do not understand what a MAJOR impact this industry has on our economy. We are not just talking about a few hundred workers on a drilling rig here and there and a hundred or so in a refinery 2,000 miles away. Additionally, petroleum products are not just limited to gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Petrochemicals are used in everything from plastics to synthetic fibers to coatings, etc., etc. If the petroleum industry should collapse, it could be beyond devastating for the economy. Just my thoughts. Any expert opinions here? I hope I am way off base with this.

Russian need hard currency, so they've been cheating on their production limits with Saudi's. Along the way, the Saudi royal family created an extensive oil funded welfare state, and need to keep the checks flowing to maintain power. In an attempt to teach the Russians a lesson they are pumping at full rate, betting they have sufficient cash reserves to outlast the Russians, bringing them to heal. Sure they wouldn't mind putting a few U.S. out of business in the process, but that's not their primary objective.

Remember 2008 gas was $5.00, hard to feel sorry for them today...... Oh and I do understand the markets.. sorta , supply and demand should rule but I think when they could they manipulated the hell out of the markets.

Fuel was $4.00/gal after Katrina, and Everytime the wife was on board I'd only put 50gal in her at $200.00. She'd bitch about what I was paying to play and we'd all laugh knowing if she knew we were blowing $600 a trip out she'd probably kill me. Twin Yamaha 225 saltwater series II's were burning 1.5 gal a mile at W.O.T.

What's the ETA on this project?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
