Oil drop.

Anyone else find it convenient how the price of oil seems to be dropping in the face of the US election.

Granted, this is a worldwide issue, but for America, it sure seems awfully suspicious.
 
It happens, there's a huge possibility in it just being a market ploy for the elections, since old W pretty much has his hands in the pockets of many oil tycoons. W being one himself. Supposedly from what I hear there is thousands of acres of undrilled oil that has yet to be tapped in the united states.
 
That's true, there are quite a few oil leases that have yet to be exploited. Why drill when you can keep the price artificially inflated.

I hate W, and regret every day that he was ever conceived.
 
I knew Americans were arrogant, but even I never concieved they could ever be arrogant enough to think that the price of oil could be manipulated world-wide for some American elections.
 
Germans like to think the oil price is related to regional school holidays, actually.
 
I thought that the price of oil was falling because of the rising US dollar and falling demand due to the high price of gasoline (and maybe a bit due to less demand from China with their clean air in Beijing for the Olympics policy).

As for why the US dollar is rising (which is the currency oil is traded in) I think the answer has to do with rising US exports due to a low dollar, sinking European exports due to a high Euro, and the resultant preference for the US dollar in currency trading markets.
 
I think oil prices are dropping because everybody thought it was a hawt idea to smear boobs with oil.

Olive oil, actually, but then the Chinese wanted to make it cheaper and since they don't have olives, they massively bought the olive oil market and now it's cheaper to smear boobs with gas-grade, intended-for-refineries oil.

Yeah. And then Obama said it's cool and all, because his preacher said he's always smeared his boobs in oil and it became national policy, taxes were lifted and unicorns were once again free to prance around historical municipal parks.

Also, there's this big township election in Western Cyprus, the town's the universes' capital of olive oil actually, and I think they're manipulating the world economy to suit their votes.

This!

P.S.

No seriously the high prices have forced Americans to be drive less which has lead to a decrease in oil consumption which thereby lowered prices.

Independent thought alarm!
 
The apocalypse is near. Soon a massive war will break out bringing about the end of the world as we know it.." it's the end of the world as we know it....it's the end of the world as we know it....it's the end..."

Fuck Oil.
Fuck Cars.
I'm buying a fucking horse.When they tell me I can't ride my horse on the road I'll throw horse shit at their faces and ride off into the sunset like Zorro.

I'm convinced that John Mccain is actually a Terminator sent from the future to be elected as president. It really makes sense if your high on pills like me. He will cause a war to break out and tell the country that the only way to win it is to activate some ultra-high tech computer that can annihilate the enemy. The sheep go bah as they often do when standing in line at Burger King,or watching the news.SHEEP!Fucking sheep!Then its activated.

Within a matter of hours several nuclear warheads will decimate the human race and we will be forced to live in underground bunkers,travel back in time,and fuck the space time continuum up,therefore screwing the planet up even more. Add that into the equation.Heres the kicker that no one thought about.

Chuck Fucking Norris. *passes out from sheer awesomeness(is that a word?Yep it is)*

Chuck Norris can hypothetically prevent all of this from happening by assassinating Mccain before he deploys Sknet.He has already stated that he supports Mccain,which obviously is just a clever ploy to get close to the evil cybernetic bastard. I heard hes a T-1000000.
The ultra elite Terminators that can fuck politics up and not have any charisma in the least bit.

Anyway thats what some guy told me. :crazy:
 
It is interesting that the price is dropping. I think that it can be attributed to real changes in the market. The rise we saw in oil prices was completely unprecedented, and every sudden rise must meet its respite.

Also, the value of the dollar has rebounded, and that has decreased the perceived value of oil by-the-dollar. So the price goes down. When the price goes down even a little bit, oil speculators sell and the price goes down further.

Unfortunately with no end in sight to the need for oil, the speculators will continue to drive up oil prices as long as we let them.

I'm getting a horse too.

DON"T YOUR REALIZE HOW POWERFUL WE ARE! WE'RE THE FUCKING U S A!

*runs back into his shelter of propaganda and home made cookies*

Yeah, I think it's going down because summer is over, people are driving less, oil companies are done flexing their muscles, some other things that I can't remember at the moment.

But you know what. I'm still paying 4 bucks a gallon when I could be paying less.
 
What I'm still curious about is why we're still using coal for electricity and gasoline for car fuel when we've had stable nuclear power for a very long time now.

I mean, it's not like it's some kind of outrageous new tech, France has been using nuclear steadily for quite a while..

The only chain-link left is to supply cars with high capacity lithium/new_material batteries, and offload the energy requirements to the grid.

Oh my god dont you know its dangerous! Daannngerous! NUKLEAR POWAR WILL BLOW UP CITIES!

I don't think the US has built a nuclear power plant in thirty or forty years because, well. People are stupid.

It also creates reaaaallly big critters.

Well the British government is currently going to possibly (red tape, we is the best at it) going to build both nuclear and coal fired power stations so we can use both "evil" fuel sources :twisted: .
There is technology to make coal fired plants relatievely eco friendly and effective, just that it will come out in about 10-15 years time.

As I don't drive and British petrol prices have always been about four times higher than American prices I didn't notice the price of oil dropped recently, then again the news has been showing nothing but the olympics so I'm probably missing a lot. :|

Dark you are completely missing the point:

Coal mining ,strip or deep mine doesnt matter, creates workforce for a lot of people. (miners, truckers, trains, engineering staff)
Nuclear Powerplants are too much manpower effective compared to coal ones and they are big fat targets to idiot terrorists or more idiot black op guys.
Gas Automobile industry spinoffs, like repair shops and gas sellers are much more manpower intenstive than electric power automatives (lesser support needed, lesser frilly things needed)
Oil rigs and fields need a lot of workforce
The Oil companiess and auto companies have the same major stockholders (oil princes ftw!)
And the auto companies have been shallowing every alternate energy research like EA after developers.

Have your own conculisions
Have Fun :) *H*

Edit: can any of you guess the most effective electric generating powerplant?
