It will go down until it goes up, as it always has. What will collapse are wind and solar powered projects because there is no way they can compete with $40 oil.

And with the collapse of wind and solar, hopefully the collapse of the ‘greens’. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Good point. Everyone talks about whether the independent drillers will survive but some of these alternative energy suppliers are on shaky ground with this downturn also.

They really are separate markets as we use so very little oil for electrical power production. Much of what is listed as generated by oil is actually refinery "leftovers" like petroleum coke and residual oil.

Indeed. I will also note that in past downturn panics the market has acted like the price of oil was going to zero.

It never has.

Neither can shale oil or Keystone XL.
