You guys don't know window dressing when you see it? OPEC was probably in on the meeting when they decided to do this. The whole thing is a sham from end to end.

I'll believe they are sincere the day they comission a dozen new nuclear power plants, and start pumping a few million more barrels a day domestically.

This is all about diluting the outrage at the ballot box for incumbents. Hopefully, it will be too little late, but I am not holding my breath.

Please, enough of the conspiracy BS. If you keep this up people will start thinking you are not only long winded and in love with your writing style.....they will also think you are nuts. Yeah, OPEC in cahoots with Congress........please tell us you were joking and we can move on from here.

What is more likely - 1) congress thinking that they have legal standing to sue and can't extrapolate to know that if they were serious, OPEC holds all the cards and will retaliate, or 2) the fact that this proposal is just as much of a farce as today's "inquisition" with the oil company executives?

You must also believe that the reason we don't have an accommodating domestic energy policy is because of overwhelming real concern about the caribou, spotted owl, and some very localized marine ecosystems. I suppose that's worth $400 billion a year.

Give me a more plausible theory, and I'll be happy to recant mine.

I have never opined on my writing style. If you don't like long posts, just click the scroll button.

Jeez, i thought they were going to pass another huge tax breaks for those poor oil companies like they did a couple of years ago. That sure worked well, didn't it?

They decided to pass a bill calling for the DOJ to sue OPEC. Yup, sue OPEC for not producing enough oil. Think about this......the same Congress that has blocked our oil companies from finding anymore oil in the country has decided to sue other countries for doing what Congress does, limiting the supply of oil. And the idiots in Congress wonder why they have a 13% approval rating.

Yeah when I heard that I was like, you have got to be kidding me, that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard.
They think they can sue OPEC with what legal system ? Where are they filing the papers ?

I also heard that the Saudis are pumping as much as they can.

Menzies went to Saudi Arabia?

That's the kind of pumping that we could do without. There is a big difference between Black Gold and White Gold.

Thanks for that mention Bug.... it's usually a forgotten topic these days. Commie entity at its best. And to think, we (our $) helped start it right? Great joy!
