In a few years, although the price around here is trending down again, after last week's sudden jolt. I tanked up early this morning at the warehouse club, and did some other shopping, and on the way out, the price had fallen another 3 whole cents. Had already been 15 cents below the Gas Buddy avg for this part of western Michigan.

At $60.00 per barrel, that would be $4,800,000,000,000.00 for Bahrain

Bahrain is so small I wonder how something that big could have gone undiscovered for so long.

This validates both Saudi Arabia and Mexico's plans to divest their national oil monopolies. Cheap oil is hear to stay, and countries that use their oil to bribe their citizens with welfare (Venezuela) rather than produce the oil as efficiently as possible will lose out.

Been doing research on anti-American attitudes in Russia. Conclusion: they hate our guts, like American flag doormats & wear a Canadian flag to be safe kind of hate. Don’t go there.

Chief reason: crash in crude oil prices. This Bahrain discovery will only make things worse. Putin is a dictator but he is beloved by Russians as a strong nationalist leader.

I can personally confirm (spending most of the last three years over there) the Gulf States want US technology help first and foremost. Europe/Asian companies are used as a negotiating tool.

Oil is a natural, renewable substance that is continuously formed in the mantle of the earth. New oil fields are found every year.
Santa Barbara, CA has more oil that Venezuela and the Keystone pipeline will tell OPEC to scram.
I paid $3.85 at Chevron today in So Cal and feel ripped off. Gas is $2.45 in Topeka, KS today. Jerry Brown and crew are as evil as Jim Jones. And Jim Jones was freaky evil.
Oil is a natural, renewable substance that has no connection to ancient vertebrates.
