But just think how quite it will be.No airliners over head no SUV~s and big trucks.People out in there garden growing what they eat.The lady down the street making what the neighborhood wears as you can`t go to Wall Mart.Only the sound of a few 50 and 150 CC scooters going buy on the highway.This is not as far fetched as it sounds.If the people keep voting in the nuts we have in the past.And vote in ones that truly are worried about America in place of what a few think it is not that far off.And I am not talking about a president
but the real law makers.

As usual the gov't ain't the solution, it's the problem.You folks that think there is some vast government conspiracy to deprive you of your god given right to oil need to get a clue. No one is stopping anyone from getting shale oil. If prices remain over 75 bucks a barrel, it will happen. But no oil company can afford the massive investment and risk it will take to get it without government help.

I don't know what to tell you. If you really missed my point, please tell me so I can correct or clarify it. You either don't understand the commodities market I admit that and apparently I'm not going to be enlightened by your expertise.or you are argumentative Sometimes, but that wasn't my intent. Maybe you didnโt notice that several sentences in my post ended with question marks, not periods or exclamation points. Either way, you have already made up your mind No, I havenโt but Iโm beginning to. I thought my questions were logical and sincere and they were based on your explanation of the commodity market. You chose the "definition" and examples. Since you chose to explain it, I thought you had enough knowledge of the market to address my questions/illustrations where the problem is, and nothing I or anyone else says here is going to change what you are convinced is true. And exactly, what would that be? A closed mind can not be changed. Yup, if you canโt answer the questions, blame it on the guy who asked them. So enjoy! I tried to use a little humor to illustrate my point but I guess that was lost too.

Well hereโs a different angle. Weโve all heard that the major airlines are grounding planes these last couple of weeks because of the cost of fuel, United 70 planes, Continental 350, Qantas, British Airlines are all doing the same. So with that these plane wonโt be burning fuel, a lot of fuel.
Jet B is very close to diesel fuel, any diesel can run Jet B, so the way I look at it is if the refineries have a shrinking market for Jet B, then they will have to refine it as diesel, so we should see the price of diesel come down (supply & demand), right.
Anyone want to bet that diesel will come down in price. โฆ Iโm betting it will have little difference even thou there are several million gallons of Jet B (diesel) per day not being used. If the price doesnโt drop weโll know whoโs running the hen-house.

What the government can do is to guaranty the oil companies a minimum price for shale oil, say 75 dollars a barrel. This will get the ball rolling on shale production. Without this guaranty it will be years before they will risk the massive investment necessary.
