Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostLast week, I was on about the dramatic fall in the oil price, down towards 50
I was talking about the various implications and the possible reasons. But I don't have a clue.
Now it looks like oil is on its way towards 20, and I am starting to get a clue.
It's starting to look like it's a deliberate attempt to wipe out the frakking industry. esp in the USA.
(apologies to those who saw this straight away)
In my Opinion - If a monopoly wants to wipe out the fledgling competition, we need to smack the monopoly, not the new players
Falling Oil Price slows US Fracking

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThey don't have to pass any legislation. In the UK even large landowners who have mineral rights, can't claim ownership of precious metals or hydrocarbons under their land. The latter, such as coal and gas, have been vested in the Crown since the 1930s, when they were in effect nationalised.Comment
