"International crude oil prices could surge by $20 per barrel if Iran’s oil supply drops in a possible escalation of the Middle East conflict, Goldman Sachs says."

Logically, that means you think escalation of the middle east conflict is good. 

You know war effects oil prices and you love it.  USA just bought more for SPR... 

You love fossil fuels more than human life as shown time and again.  "Coal is a non-polluter."

Iran oil is still under international sanction. Only China is buying from Iran at the moment.

Therefore, Goldman Sachs might be incorrect with the prediction.

Nothing would change if war escalated to involve Iran and Yemen.

Yes, Canadian Diesel is very expensive.  But the black smoke you see is a solid and actually is heavier than air. Like any ICE, the fumes can be lethal like kerosene heaters.

Super funny thing is when I showed that you tube video to my hobby farm, mechanic, engineer friend his response was

"That video was insanely funny, and surprising. I actually have the same turbo he used sitting on a shelf"

then later

"I should turbocharge that Ford"

That is how you know I live in Oil Country. Alberta. haha

Other than a bit sloppy steering it runs great.

Thanks for providing the information on oil and wars which disproves your position. I appreciate that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_war

"Research by Emily Meierding has characterized oil wars as largely a myth.^[1] She argues that proponents of oil wars underestimate the ability to seize and exploit foreign oil fields, and thus exaggerate the value of oil wars. She has examined four cases commonly described as oil wars (Japan's attack on the Dutch East Indies in World War II, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Iran-Iraq War, and the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay), finding that control of additional oil resources was not the main cause of aggression in the conflicts.^[2]

A 2024 study found that the presence of oil in contested territory can make states less likely to seek to acquire the territory.^[3]"

Answer the questions at hand.

Your words: "Future expectations of oil prices are looking rather good"

Try to duck and dodge all you want traitor, people will see your true colours.

Emily Meierding can pontificate all she wants, she disproves nothing.  Her writing, however, did find a sucker. 

I hope you could tell this theory to the mother of a soldier who passed away in the Gulf wars with a straight face.  Tell her all the burning oil wells had nothing to do with the conflict.  Do it!

You know that not being the "main cause" implies that it still was a cause, just maybe not the main one.  Reading is fundamental.

Even when religion is the main cause the belligerents still attack oil assets, people die, you rejoice in death due to a oil price bump. 

You will cry when a ceasefire is negotiated - because you are an agent of death.

Garbage, as usual.

Read your own sourced material. If you do not like your own referenced analysis, take it up with the authors.

Yes, there may well be an upcoming war which will expose the inadequate oil inventories which have been permitted by the weird oil policies of the Biden Administration.

Thanks Uncle Joe!

"Tensions in the Middle East have been going on for a year now, and oil supply has not been disturbed.

This week, geopolitical risk jumped significantly as Israel is said to be planning strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure.

Currently, there are about 19 days' worth of emergency oil supply in the U.S. SPR, which is deemed sufficient to cushion price spikes only for a short while."

"...it is a fact that the strategic petroleum reserve of the United States has been sitting at a 40-year low after the Biden administration released a massive amount of oil to the market back in 2022 with the purpose of taming the oil price surge that followed Russian troops' entry into the Ukraine in February 2022.

Since then, however, the federal government has been slow to refill the reserve, mostly because of too high prices. Some have even argued the U.S. does not need such a strategic reserve any longer, what with it being the world's largest producer. What these commenters seem to forget is that, first, oil is traded globally, and second, the U.S. may be the biggest producer of oil, but it is also the biggest consumer, and it consumes about 7 million barrels daily more than it produces. And that makes it vulnerable to global price swings."

Some Americans are now taking legal action to overturn the EPA's regulations on private vehicles.

https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/08/14/eight-states-file-court-brief-challenging-californias-electric-vehicle-mandate/

"Bird said in a press release that California’s electric vehicle mandate will also increase costs for consumers in other states and limit options for new cars. 

“I will not stand by as American families are forced to pay the price for California’s green car mandates,” Bird said in a press release. “California and the Biden-Harris EPA are eliminating purchasing options for families across the country and mandating they buy more expensive electric cars at a time when they are already struggling to make ends meet. The law is clear; California does not have the power to mandate the cars Iowans drive.”"

I am thrilled with low oil prices. It will have a great effect on overall transportation pricing of goods for everyone. Most people don't look at the overall factors affecting prices. Making taxpayers subsidize EVs,  solar and wind are also big costs. 

 

Chinese EV's have a 100% tariff on them being imported into the USA and most of Europe, expensive?? subsidized??? that was 5 years ago.

I agree that generally low oil prices are good for the economy, thats why when ECO pipes up celebrating an oil price increase he makes himself look foolish time after time.

He also thinks falling battery costs will reduce the number of EV's sold, hell of an economist is ECO!
