In what post specifically did I call you a name?
So if supply isn’t the problem, as your article pointed out, then why is it that the market is allowing the speculators to artificially inflate the price?
My point is in your response in post #108 you denigrated the sources I provided as being inexperienced and French and that in itself was sufficient to discredit what they were saying. Name calling.
The quote from my post was very clear, the problems are not oil in the ground, they are “above ground” meaning extraction, refining and distribution. Not surprising given the enormous increase in demand and expected demand and the US unwillingness to invest in the infrastructure needed.
The US has not built a refinery in 30 years, we refuse to use the resources we have within our boundaries due to political reasons.
This wrong headed approach leaves us vulnerable to people who want to play games and mess with the market, not to mention those who are our enemies and who want to see our down fall. Why is that so difficult to see?
