” Maybe in Sydney, but winter is coming on here.
Drill here, drill now. And the price of oil will drop. And if it doesn’t, the money doesn’t go to Saudi Arabia.”
Whereabouts are you? BTW I have friends that cycle to/from work year round up in Canada, even through snow. They tell me that with the appropriate gear it’s quite pleasant, but I wouldn’t know as we don’t get that sort of cold here. What we do have is >110 heat and high humidity, which I don’t have a problem with. I figure our boys are being shot at and dieing in that same heat, all I’m doing is cycling, how can I complain?
Neither
Some employers are ok with you showing up wet or dirty or smelly or late sometimes, but others are not.
And folks with kids can't afford to get home late, leaving the kids alone because they had to wait out a storm.
Biking or cycling is not an 'immediate action' most of us can take. Most of us live too far from work. Drilling can start tomorrow. That act alone will drive down the futures price for oil which will get reflected into the current price.
There is little lead time on some of the economic effect. At the start of drilling, the futures price is affected and that will affect the current price.
The Saudis can try to keep the price up by reducing production, but that still means they get less money, which is one of the goals.
And we don't know what full production will be. So let's try it and find out. We can also start on a few nuke plants to provide energy for coal-to-liquid plants. We do have huge amounts of coal.

No it shouldn’t.
