The last time $30 oil was seen in the US was in the 1980s.

It was November 2003.

It had been below $30 most of the couple decades before that.

Mine was a typo. 1980s should have read 1990s.

By the time 2003 rolled around, the price was ascending and didn’t remain at 30 for very long.

The point is the Saudis are fully capable of dropping $30, $25, $20 oil into Houston. And they can do it for a decade no sweat.

Now maybe some are beginning to see why we need a floor at $35 to allow for our domestic producers to go up against the Saudis and survive.

I firmly believe the narrative of this article is approved by those in the Saudi camp to make everyone think it’s all about Iran and Russia. Garbage!

Saudis don’t want the world to think they are trying to demolish new production made possible by fracking. And I will bet that a lot of environmentalists are funded by groups that are taking it under the table from the Saudis because I know how those people are. And environmentalists are all out to stop fracking by any means possible. For example, Cuomo in New York.
