Fracking is a new technology that lowers the cost of obtaining energy from fossil fuels. That is why the price is tanking. Also electric cars don't especially help oil prices. There is a great website that can help you called google. Try searching under "tesla". I assume you are referring to the electric ones that people charge from solar panels on their roofs. the rest of them are actually powered mostly by coal, natural gas and nuclear. Fracking is new? There is a great website that can help you called google. Try searching under "fracking". Yes, fracking is new. [link to www.amazon.com] Today's prices are from fracking. Without fracking, we'd be doing the peak oil thing. PEVs get some electricity from nuk, so oil prices go down with PEV market share rising. Last Edited by idiot221 on 12/08/2014 07:39 PM idiot221 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 60906342 United States 12/08/2014 07:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bye Bye fracking industry, and all the high paying jobs that go with it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12781064 Actually fracking will increase because the energy cost to frac is lowered so ... welcome new high pay jobs. Not so simple, the shale boom started at the beginning of this most current credit cycle that began in 2009. Very little capital was used and most of the plays were entirely financed, and the financing was set up from the current oil prices that had been driven up during the housing boom. So, the actual prices are far lower so the debt the producers used will begin to default as the drillers won't be in the black. So, you say that opens up opportunities for new companies that aren't burdened with debt to set up financing at lower prices. Wrong again because we are at the end of the credit cycle when the non-performing debt begins to sour and then collapse. . |

Most electrical power in the US is now (or is going to be soon after all coal plants are shuttered by Obama) generated from Natural Gas (fracking) 2. Oil prices are going so low that the fracking companies are firing hundreds/thousands of employees and if it keeps going (which it will) may even shut down further or go bankrupt. Where is the east coast going to get power? When I've complained about low wages in the past, I've always been told to start my own business and not rely on others to provide an income for me. Who needs a job? Maybe they can do the same IF they get laid off. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 53468104 United States 12/08/2014 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been looking for the reason WHY oil keeps dropping. It sure as hell isn't Obama trying to screw Putin. Obama and his retarded Marxist minions are too dumb in foreign policy matters for move like that. There had to be SOME reason this slide is continuing....and then I found this...... Falling oil prices could give West upper hand "The Kurds agreed to send 300,000 barrels of oil a day south through the Iraqi pipeline while being allowed to independently sell on the international market 250,000 barrels of their own through a different pipeline to neighboring Turkey." ... The Baghdad government is no longer capable of preventing the Kurds from exporting their own oil and had no choice but to sign the agreement, opening up the way for the entrance of Western oil companies eager to develop new oil fields in the region. A new source of cheap available oil added to the growing global surplus. The markets were quick to react with another dip in the price of oil, now hovering at around 65 dollars, the cheapest in over four years." [link to www.haaretz.com] ...and there you have it. 550,000 barrels of oil a day being dumped on the market about $20-$30 a barrel via Kurdish oil fields. You think Obama is running the country? LoL. Obama is just a figure head the fall guy. he is not making any decisions on his own. He is told what to do and he follows orders or they will JFK him. There are many reason why Oil is cheap. For one we are in an economic war with Russia and china. Another reason is the economy is very weak. Obama talked about this during the debate with Romney. Everything is rigged. They have all the money and all the product. They just flood the market when they need the price down and simply pull supply back when they need the price to rise. |

I think the price of oil (on the stock market) is going down so, because there is no oil to buy in the first place. There is no silver for China to buy for their industry, and they and Russia are joined at the hip. Doesnot Russia have some terrible control of the oil, or so i hear? Who was that that had their pumps bagged off except for a few hoses here and there? Big K, not Circle K. |

The problem, according to the UT researchers, goes far beyond merely running out of natural gas. The researchers warn that the US and many other countries, relying on a long-term availability of inexpensive gas, are investing billions of dollars in vehicles, factories and power plants that depend on gas.
