Next Biden will send what little diesel fuel we have to the southern border for all,the coyotes using diesel trucks.

Which is why prices were lower under President Trump.

Troll.

The cure for high prices are high prices. The cure for low prices are low prices.

At $20/barrel, shale is not profitable. It’s largely not profitable at $70/barrel.

Fracking is financing intensive. Lenders loan money and watch oil come out. A fracked well is about $10 million. First year flow from a Bakken well is typically 800 barrels/day in year 1. At $20 and X 365 that’s $5.8 million.

Debt 1/2 repaid. The problem is shale wells crater rapidly. That 800 bpd becomes 400 in year 2. $2.9 million revs. The other costs (trucking of oil, water disposal (all oil wells produce water and oil both), salaries, overhead. They become a big portion of the $2.9M.

Flow declines again in year 3, but salaries increase. Costs do. And . . . really good wells at really good price per barrel can pay back their loan. The vast majority cannot.

Result: the lenders won’t lend anymore. Flow gets reduced. Price will rise.

Doesn’t have to have anything to do with politics. It has to do with the fields depleting. Globally.

I guess I’ll be getting a jump start on canning this summer. Everything here is moved by truck. Fortunate to live near the Amish and other farms for produce, dairy and meat. But that will only last for so long
Heating oil will be next.. going to be a long winter

I'm sorry if your brother may suffer, but I'm in the same boat in another state where Dem controlled big cities stuff ballots and control the city and the state like Venezuela.

So I'm likely to also get bitten by these stupidities. But it won't change until the majority of imbeciles who keep putting these people in power suffer enough to wake up.

[Ezekiel]

Gosh, it's almost like someone else, someone who doesn't give a rat's backside about the US or her citizens is really in charge and pulling the strings. Rampant inflation, shortages... This isn't build back better, this is break, bereave, and blow.

Thus "Obama's third term."

And going back to NYC on Flag Day 2012 (PDJT's 66th birthday), here's the Obama vow on the beam going to the top of the One World Trade Center under construction:

That read immediately as a "We" masquerading as "We the People", when it was a triple curse written by "We" the enemies of We the People.

Mark 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

The Wile E. Coyote dark forces never learn, because truth is always on the up and up. What you see is what you get. Ergo, a triple blessing because when do these folks ever admit to their deception?

Each barrel of diesel provided to europe comes with a complimentary jar of baby formula.

[grey_whiskers]

Bullshit.
It’s Biden’s fault.

[jmacusa]

Bulls**t. Total bs. There are reserves of oil all over the United States that have never been tapped to their potential or not at all b being off limits to drilling by America hating ‘’environmentalists’’.

We used our own oil and coal during WW2 and supplied our allies as well.

When the grocery stores are empty I hope you starve.Fool!

Good old Jellyhead Joe.

You can take to the bank as long as there is an active congregation of the Worship George Soros church on Free Republic.com. They will be at least another thousand years. They are well organized and very vocal. They have their amen corner set up. They have their preachers, song leaders, and deacons along with charter members. There intention is to insure that the human traffickers along with the politicians source of dirty money stays well protected. In closing, rest assured that as long as the politicians are in charge, their source of dirty money [graft] will remain well protected.

[griswold3]

The Truckers tried that. Didn’t work out so well. No one listened. Any commotion was going to be treated like Jan6.

[winterystorm]

I like that idea.
I said the same with the Moms and baby Formula.
Let them all go to the White house.
Let Biden arrest the Moms with Babies and let Biden Fed them.

[winterystorm]

It’s not going to happen. I believe the people of the US will get angry enough if it got to that point.

Do you think the Welfare Mom’s,the Ghetto crew, the low class poor and the elderly are going to buy a EV?

They can’t!

The Middle Class can’t.

So who is left.
the 1% that has them.

The poor and middle class out number the 1%.

People are going to break and not in a nice way..

[winterystorm]

Trains?

[winterystorm]

We all will learn the hard way. I accept that if a Depression comes let us all face it and help each other.

Let DC sink deeper into it’s cesspool.

Just take care of yourself and help a neighbor or friend if you have anything to share if it gets that bad.

[laplata]

I agree totally. One other thing is, if possible, to surround ourselves with as many like minded people as possible.

It’s past time to hunker down into survival mode.

[Mariner]

Every Free Republic neocon celebrates this.

It’s soooo worth it./s
