I’m looking forward to around $50 a barrel…low enough to get gas back around $2 a gallon or a bit less, but high enough to make shale oil worth pursuing so we can get away from OPEC.

What a joke. These nitwits are sitting on an ocean of oil but have to import it because they haven’t developed their economy enough to have a refining capability. Meanwhile, though, they’ve got plenty of money to try to go nuclear.

Wouldn’t it be a shame if an “inductrial accident” destroyed Iran’s one, single, solitary refining plant?

From what I’ve read most Iranians do realize that they are ruled by a bunch of incompetent and corrupt religious fanatics. Unfortunately said fanatics have learned, from the likes of the USSR, how to stay in power even when most people disapprove of you. It’s hard to overthrow an authoritarian/totalitarian government with modern means of repression. However the Iranians had better find a way to do it before the Mullahs provoke a nuclear war that will fry the Iranian people in the crossfire.

I love those Pickens energy plan ads that claim the Iranians are switching to natural gas cars because it’s so much smarter than gasoline…

“A price of US$100 and below is not suitable for anybody”

It suits me fine!
