    wtf won't that mean crazy high oil prices if demand were to rebound? driving more exploration and environmental destruction in some retarded apocalypse accelerator?

    Or will the price of energy just become crazy high?

    Will Technologists save us with the invisible hand an give us all a hopeful future?

    Yeah, oil prices are going to about $200 a barrel over the short term, and about $500 a barrel over the medium term. They're currently about $90 a barrel, but much of the cost of petrol, diesel and kerosene is tax, so that the price increase won't cause prices to simply double.

    Consider if you will the case of Ghawar, the biggest oil field in the world.

    If the market was right I wouldn't have been able to double my money betting on higher oil prices since December.

    Conventional oil (meaning old fashioned drilled for oil) vs unconventional oil (meaning things like fracked and tight oil, shale, etc). Please note the scale, and also the graph is from 2015.

    Unconventional oil is only 20% of the total oil production, but there are vast reserves of carbony goo and sludge on earth that can be turned into oil. They claim they can produce a barrel for around $50, which is fairly profitable if you have $100 oil. We'll see if it scales.

    Not in the US is isn't.

    "In Texas, gasoline and diesel fuel are subject to a 20-cent tax per gallon. In addition, the federal government imposes taxes of 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel fuel."

    That's how you assholes can afford to roll around in retarded oversized vehicles.

    There's also taxes, royalties and levies to be paid as the stuff is getting pumped out of the ground too.

    Originally posted by Donald Trump However despite the fact that now that covid is no longer so much of a thing, world oil production hasn't been able to rebound.

    this is mostly due to OPEC refusing to increase production tommake up for the losses they sustained during the pandemic.

    Aramco as you can remember, suffered major losses in 2020 and is now trying to patch up the losses.

    OIL IS NOT A FINITE RESOURCES. EACH DAY, MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF NEW OIL ARE FORMED IN THE EARTH'S MANTLE JUST AS OUR SKIN SHEDS MILLIONS OF OLD, DEAD SKIN CELLS.

    EARTH IS A LIVING THING, LIKE US. AND IT SHEDS OIP RESERVES.

    You're really going with that attempted save huh...in any case pretty sure there are no taxes on storing your already purchased petrol in an underground tank.
