Crude Oil down to $84.66 @ 7:10 PM EDT.
Gas at $3.19 here. That's a dime less in 2 days.
I’m with you on that. But the new design “Pebble” reactors, are smaller, cheaper, faster safer, and boilerplate designed, so if you know how one is set up, you know how all penbble reactors are set up. so much less of a re-learning cuurve for Techs, and standardized ports for maintenance.
It *should* be a lot easir to build a new Pebble reactor than it would be trying to go through the courts to get the through ways needed for transporting power from wind and solar farms, and the energy would be constant and could produce a lot of hydrogen for fuel cell cars, trucks, trains...planes.
“With gas prices going down everywhere all at once, there’s obviously a conspiracy involved!”
Have you heard anyone say “gas never goes down the same way it goes up”, today? I haven’t and it does if the market is free to operate normally
OK Eeyore. :oD
My guess is that traders see an industrial slowdown in Europe or the North Sea is really pumping it out.
“Here we go again.........weeeeee!!!”
Ain’t that the truth. But with the falling DOW and such, I don’t think we’ll be seeing the big increases again before next hurricane season. People have cut back consumption and our gulf production is still not %100 back online. We have ourselves a mini glut
$2.77 Sedalia, Mo...I am hoping to vacation in your area July 2009. :-)
What the oil companies want more than anything right now, is the same thing all businesses want, STABILITY. How do you make any long term plans with the fluctuations the way they’ve been?
gas is still $3.39 here in socal.
I have been hearing Donald Trump on Cavuto and Hannity radio saying that high oil prices contributed greatly to our recession and it is our life blood. He said “When we do things like a bailout, it goes up. When we do nothing, it goes down and there is nothing to stop it.” I heard on Fox OPEC is having an emergency meeting because of the drop in demand of oil and that they will probably cut back on production to drive the prices up again. We need to drill for oil here at home and develop other energy sources asap!
Bush’s Fault!
Lowest price in Bend, Oregon today was $3.43.
The price of oil is going down because of the fall in the stock market genius. As the dow recovers, if it ever does again, the price of oil will rise along with it because of how tied oil is to the stock market now and mostly because of speculators. Not exactly comforting when our economy has to plummet like this in order to get under $3.00 a gallon for gas. Where I live, it’s still well over $3.00 as well.
amazing.
oil co people have told me that i 5 from mexico to canada
is a tourist area, so the price of gas is more.
CNG, CNG, CNG, .........no more oil, no more in the stranglehold of Middle East crooks.
“oil co people have told me that i 5 from mexico to canada

Bend is 85 miles east of I-5 in the high desert. Cascade Mountain range is btn I-5 and Bend.
Gas is much cheaper over in “the valley”.
so why is it so expensive there?
i’m in the low desert.
we have no oil wells nor refineries within 100 miles.
2.90 here
They all agree to decrease production, they they all proceed to cheat because they are so greedy.
$2.90-$3.20 here in Central Jersey.
